Design and Implementation of a optical buffer using optical wavelength converters

파장 변환기를 이용한 광버퍼의 설계 및 구현

Wavelength division multiplexing technology is a promising solution for the next generation optical networks. Optical buffer is a key component for optical packet switching system. It can be used to hold optical packets and to resolve the contention of optical packets. In this paper, we implemented a optical buffer using optical wavelength converters and demonstrated that optical packets are delayed successfully.
