Abstract
A novel variable optical delay circuit that employs an optical loop and wavelength converters for use in an optical buffer is reported. The delay time is controlled by varying the initial wavelength λinitial of the signal. This delay circuit is capable of regenerating signals, handling variable-length packets, and reducing the volume of the buffer.Keywords
