  • Abstract
    A variable optical delay circuit that employs a fibre loop with highly nonlinear fibre parametric wavelength converters is described. The delay time is determined from the number of circulations, which is controlled by the initially selected wavelength of the signal. No additional amplifier to compensate for the circulation loss is required.
