A fast WDM crossbar switch suitable for interconnecting electronic packet switches in scalable data centers is proposed and analyzed. It is capable of elastic multiple-wavelength interconnection of any node pair. The switch is compatible with silicon-photonic integration; thus it promises small size, power and cost.
