Abstract
Apparatus for an an optical data buffer is disclosed which includes an optical splitter for splitting an incoming signal, and multiple fiber optic delay lines of varying length to delay the split signals. The delayed signals are combined and presented to an amplifier, which selectively amplifies or blocks further propogation of the individual signals. In another embodiment of the invention, the input signal is split and each signal is passed through a separate fiber delay line of differing length before being presented to an amplifier which selectively amplifies or blocks the individual signals. The output of the amplifier is combined into a single fiber optic cable.
