Abstract
An optical pulse packet at electronic data rates is time-compressed in a recirculating optical delay line to produce a compressed optical packet which, after transmission over a high speed optical network, is expanded at optical data rates by use of the inverse of the compression process. The system employs two recirculating optical loops per network node, one for optically compressing a fully formatted electronic packet for transmission onto the network and one for electronically expanding such a packet upon reception.
