• Fundamentals and Applications of Spatial Dissipative Solitons in Photonic Devices (2009, background): “, Boyd et al. (2006)) for high-speed switching of data packets. If new packets are arriving when a router is busy, they need to be buffered in an all-optical delay line. Hence delay lines or “slow light” are considered to be key elements of such networks (see, e.g., Boyd et al. (2006); Gauthier (200”
• Temporal cavity solitons in one-dimensional Kerr media as bits in an all-optical buffer (2010, background): “This places our cavity memory right in the operating range of realistic telecommunications system”
• Slow and fast light in optical fibres (2008, background): “This means that it is difficult for slow- and fast-light delay lines to meet the target application that motivated the early research efforts, that is, the all-optical buffering required for future all-optical router”
