Novel Node Architectures for Wavelength-Routed WDM Networks with Wavelength Conversion Capability

• We present and evaluate two novel node architectures based on optical switch matrices and wavelength converters (WCs). Relatively small and cheap switches are required while WCs efficiently improve blocking probability
