Hi All.
I agree with all that optical buffer is a device that is capable of temporarily storing light. Just as in the case of a regular buffer, it is a storage medium that enables compensation for a difference in time of occurrence of events. More specifically, an optical buffer serves to store data that was transmitted optically (i.e., in the form of light), without converting it to the electrical domain. The Buffer Selector is used to select the signal data associated with a specified iteration in a series of iterations.
Can anyone tell me if it is purely optical or electro-optical component here because you have mentioned that optical buffer serves to store data that was transmitted optically without converting it to the electrical domain? I would appreciate
Thanks
