Abstract
We have investigated wavelength conversion by quasiphase-matched difference-frequency generation in an AlGaAs waveguide. Simultaneous conversions of multiple input wavelengths with no crosstalk are demonstrated. The conversion efficiencies are polarization insensitive while the device also shows polarization-diversified operation
