Performance limits of delay lines based on optical amplifiers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The performance of tunable buffers based on optical amplifiers and its improvement by use of gain flattening are analyzed. A simple analytical expression is obtained indicating that the gain required to attain tunable storage of N bits increases nonlinearly with N and reaches unrealistically high values for N>5. A comparison with other types of optical delay line is made.
