文摘We propose a novel all-optical buffer and shaper based on the adjustable power transferring characteristics of the complex-modulated long-period-grating coupler(CM-LPGC)and the multiple circulations of the self-closed fiber loop.By turning on the external optical pumps,the signals can be stored by utilizing the nonreciprocal power transferring of the CM-LPGC.When the buffer time is satisfied,the signals can be extracted discretionarily by turning off the external optical pumps.In addition,by controlling the spectral bandwidth of the CM-LPGC,the temporal rectangular pulse can be obtained by re-shaping the Gaussian input signal.
