Abstract

Summary form only given. We demonstrated a configuration of a module that simultaneously achieves polarization independent multichannel operation and filtering of input signals. The future integration of pump laser with the nonlinear waveguide and improved efficiency can make such a module viable for scalable and modular wavelength interchanging optical crossconnects.
