In this paper, we propose Au-Optical WDM Buffer System for resolving contention probiem of packets in Optical Packet Switching System. The proposed system consists of tunable wavelength converters based on SOA, NxN AWG, and fiber delay lines. This structure can reduce ASE and cross-talk noise because the buffering is achieved from passing packets through each different delay line determined by converting the wavelength of input packet. We also perform buffering experiment for two 5Ons optical pulses, and it proves that the proposed system works as expected.
