Abstract
We review the power dissipation and scaling properties of a number of different realizations of optically-amplified slow light optical buffers. Based on a new analysis of slow light buffering, we show the conditions under which optical buffers may offer advantages over CMOS DRAM buffers in high-capacity optical routers.
