I would think that the term optical cross connect is more appropriate than optical switching or routing as it pertains to pure optical switching (Oh boy, I said it again). If a single physical facility is (switched/routed?) to another destination, it would be in the form that the entire information content of that facility is cross connected (there, I finally got it right) to one of more than one possible other physical facility. I suppose some Time Division Multiplexing scheme can be applied, but it would seem to me that this technique would be electronic and not optical. But if DWDM can split the spectrum into a large number of separate pipes then cross connect could converge into a form of switching or routing if each pipe is dedicated to a specific information stream. Got it? It's late anyway.
