ABSTRACT:
The apparatus includes a delay member applying delays to signals received in an optical form, which form is that of an optical-type carrier wave carrying the signals. The delays are controlled so that the signals are synchronized on reference instants. According to the invention, the delay member receives said carrier wave and applies said controlled delays thereto so as to delay the signals, while leaving them in their optical form.
