A wavelength-selective switch is a fiber interconnection machine which has the property that incoming fiber channels can be connected in completely different ways for each wavelength channel they carry. The cumbersome construction of this function requires an array of independent optical switches, one for each wavelength channel. The switch array must then be sandwiched between an input wavelength demultiplexer and a combining multiplexer at the output.
