Abstract
The implementation of wavelength converters in the optical crossconnect (OXC) is a key step towards the all-optical networks. Optical switches are the building blocks of OXC with the functions of wavelength routing, reconfigurability, network protection and restoration. Wavelength converters are used to effectively alleviate the blocking probability and help to resolve contention at the output port of switches by shifting one incoming wavelength to another outgoing wavelength at an OXC node. The deployment of wavelength converters within optical switches offers robust routing, switching functions and network management in the optical layer. This is critical to the emerging all-optical Internet. However, the high cost of wavelength converters at the current stage of fabrication technology remains an issue when we design node architectures for an optical network. This paper proposes a new wavelength-convertible switch and investigates the most cost-effective use of wavelength converters.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
