We present an experimental method to generate multi-photon entangled state which utilises quantum buffering and temporal source multiplexing. Our all optical polarization insensitive buffer memory is able to store photonic qubits with good efficiency and state fidelity. Quantum state tomography reveals photonic qubit state fidelity of 99% for 200ns and above 88% for 1µs storage time. A Sagnac based polarization entangled source is pumped by a femtosecond laser to fire Bell pairs with high entanglement visibility. Combining temporal source multiplexing and memory loop we apply a quantum interference buffering technique to entangle subsequent Bell pairs towards a four photon GHZ state. We achieve a state fidelity above 80% for the GHZ state. Temporal multiplexing of 20 sources shows nine fold increase in four photon generation rates.
