Abstract :
A continuously tunable delay of 8 bit-lengths at 10 and 25 Gbit/s is achieved by using a ring-based coupled-resonator-optical-waveguide fabricated in SiON technology. Fractional loss below 1 dB per bit-delay and storage efficiencies exceeding 1 bit-delay per ring-resonator are demonstrated.
