  We demonstrate the operation of an all-optical buffer based on temporal
cavity solitons stored in a nonlinear passive fiber ring resonator. Unwanted
acoustic interactions between neighboring solitons are suppressed by modulating
the phase of the external laser driving the cavity. A new locking scheme is
presented that allows the buffer to operate with an arbitrarily large number of
cavity solitons in the loop. Experimentally, we are able to demonstrate the
storage of 4536 bits of data, written all-optically into the fiber ring at 10
Gb/s, for 1 minute.
