Abstract

Designing optical buffer is still challenge for supporting all optical packet switching. The current practice is to emulate the optical buffer functions through a combination of switch and fiber delay lines (SDL). In this paper we introduce the recent progress on this line, in particular, the SDL-based emulation of optical queues, connectors and buffers.
