An optical cross-connect having an input port for launching a beam of light into the optical cross-connect, at least two output ports, each output port for selectively receiving a beam of light, a dispersive element for dispersing the beam of light into separate wavelength channels, and a switch core for independently switching at least one individual wavelength channel between ports. The switch core includes a cylindrical ATO element, two cylindrical relay lenses, and two opposing deflector arrays. Conveniently, the deflector arrays are either liquid crystal phase arrays or reflective MEMS arrays.
