<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical packet processing apparatus which joins the optical packets mutually at high speed with optical signals even if they are asynchronous optical packets, while suppressing an increase of a circuit scale. <P>SOLUTION: An improvement is applied to the optical packet processing apparatus which outputs the optical packets transmitted by a plurality of input side optical transmission lines by joining an optical coupler to an output side optical transmission line. The apparatus is provided with a delay means to delay a desired optical packet for each input optical transmission line. With regard to each of the delay means, the delay time is different at least by one optical packet time and the minimum delay time is at least one optical packet time. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
