Abstract :
We study the the storage capacity of slow-light tunable optical buffers based on fiber Brillouin amplifiers (FBA) through theoretical analysis. Gain saturation and pulse broadening are two key factors which limit the buffer capacity. It is shown that the maximum buffer capacity varies with data bit rate.
