Abstract
The loading and unloading of a 40-Gbit/s data packet in an active fiber loop buffer is demonstrated. It is believed that this is the highest rate external loading of a loop buffer by more than a factor of two. Experimental results of the device storage time and of the quality of the stored data packets are presented. In addition, ways to simplify and improve optical buffer design are discussed
