Slow light in optical fibers and all-optical telecommunication technology
All-optical telecommunication technology is currently a research focus and all-optical buffers and high-speed optical switches are two of its essential conditions.As it is necessary to reduce the light speed if all-optical buffers are to be realized
this paper first summarizes the evolution of slow light technologies both at home and abroad and then describes the research on fiber slow light technology and its applications in high-rate all-optical telecommunications.Finally
it presents the difficulties in current researches on slow light in optical fibers and the strategic significance of these researches to all-optical telecommunication technologies.
