Talk:Optical buffer

"Implementation of optical buffers As light cannot be frozen, an optical buffer is made of optical fibers, and is generally much larger than a RAM chip of comparable capacity. A single fiber can serve as a buffer, however, a set of more than one is usually used. A possibility, for example, is to choose a certain length D for the smallest fiber, and then let the second, third... have lengths . Another typical example is to use a single loop, in which the data circulates a variable number of times."

In the beginning where it states light cannot be frozen, this is outdated information see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/3308109.stm for details

Is this topic not notable?
I found a few thousand articles about optical buffers, so it seems likely that this topic is notable. Why did you add this cleanup tag here? Jarble (talk) 00:43, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
 * Hi Jarble, thanks for pinging me. Nine months later, I don't fully remember my reasoning for adding the notability tag. I vaguely remember finding only one review article, But you are correct, with lots of primary sources this is likely notable and is an error on my part. Thanks for catching that; I will remove the tag. -- 02:28, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
