  • Abstract
    Performance of slow-light optical buffers in a digital transmission link is simulated. Error rates are calculated for various bit rates and storage (number of bits stored). For a given power penalty, it is shown that storage-bit-rate product is a constant, suggesting an alternative performance metric to the delay-bandwidth product.
