AB Brillouin slow light in optical fibers is a promising technique forthe development of all-optical buffers to be used in optical routers. Themain drawback of this technique up to now has been its narrow bandwidth,normally restricted to 35 MHz in conventional single-mode optical fibers. Inthis paper we demonstrate experimentally that Brillouin slow light with anarbitrary large bandwidth can be readily obtained in conventional opticalfibers using a simple and inexpensive pump spectral broadening technique.In our experiments, we show the delaying of 2.7 ns pulses over slightlymore than one pulse length with only some residual broadening (<25%) ofthe pulse width. We see no limit to extend this technique to the delaying ofGHz-bandwidth signals
