Abstract
Excitable systems (known for their all or nothing and well calibrated response to external perturbations) are obvious candidates for the handling of binary data. In this contribution, we demonstrate experimentally that a semiconductor laser based excitable system placed in an optical feedback loop can act as a buffer for optical data. In the process, we demonstrate the existence and control of topological localized states in optics.
