ABSTRACT:
An improved apparatus and method for enhancing the performance of optical transmission and network systems (such as SONET or SDH). A magnetically trapped atomic cloud chamber is provided which selectively alters the group velocity of light waves propagating through the atomic cloud. A delay device, repeater, pulse shaper, and millimeter wave transmission system incorporating the chamber are also disclosed.
