Abstract

We propose an optical buffer system that can be realized by implementing the state-of-art optical buffer technology in the near future. This optical buffer system can be used at the output port of an optical router in an optical switching network (OPS), which resembles its electronic equivalent in terms of operational functionality. Analytical modeling is done to investigate the switch with this buffer structure. Results obtained demonstrate the capability of providing service differentiation by using our proposed optical buffer system.
