Optical buffers and wavelength converters are two effective methods to resolve optical packet contentions in an optical packet switch. This paper focuses on the performance of fixed wavelength converters in resolving optical packet contentions. An optical packet switch with fixed wavelength converters and WDM optical buffers is proposed. The fixed wavelength converters and the WDM optical buffers are all configured as recirculation form. The performances of the optical packet switch are evaluated by simulation experiments.
