Abstract :
We demonstrate a 40 Gb/s optical buffer utilizing a 116 ns continuously tunable optical delay. 53 byte ATM packets are buffered up to a 10-packet-depth with a reconfiguration time of 25 ps (1 bit-slot). The buffer is capable of adjusting to varying packet sizes, data-rates, and modulation formats.
