Continuously tunable optical buffer with a dual silicon waveguide design

We propose a design for an optical buffer that comprises two coupled silicon waveguides, which is capable of generating a large continuously tunable change in the propagation delay time. The optical delay can be varied by more than 100% through varying the spacing between the waveguides.
