Abstract

A novel all-optical variable delay buffer for next generation optical networks is reported. This buffer can store the contending packets for a relatively long time by using fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs). The proposed design is characterized by the ability to extract the delayed packets as soon as the contention is resolved.
