At the speed of light, the latency impact of an optical implementation of the Fourier transform operating within the confines of an equipment rack should be negligible. In this case it sounds like they intend to implement the optical computation directly on a silicon chip.

This sounds a bit like buffering, what impact would something like that have on latency I wonder.

Since the process is 'optical' in nature, the latency will be very low. 'Almost' equal to the speed of light in this case. ;)
