We propose a novel optical packet synchronizer for use in telecommunication networks at a 1.5 μm wavelength. An experimental setup shows the feasibility of the system using an acousto‐optic deflector and a single‐mode fiber delay line array. The proposed system achieves an optical transparency to the data bit rate, and is suitable for nonregenerative application within an optical network. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
