ABSTRACT:
One embodiment of the present invention provides a system for the transmission of data between an optical bus and an electronic component at a speed independent from a clock speed of the electrical component; the system comprising an optical data storage component communicating with both the optical bus and the electrical component; the optical data storage component being configured to hold data transmitted on the optical bus until said electrical component is available.
