    Simultaneous wavelength conversion of multi-WDM channels is expected to be a key technique in near-future networks. In this paper, 4-channel wavelength conversion using four-wave mixing (FWM) in a hybrid wavelength selector is successfully demonstrated. The wavelength selector consists of two four-channel spot-size-converter-integrated semiconductor optical amplifier (SS-SOA) gate arrays on a planar-lightwave-circuit (PLC) platform and two PLC-arrayed-waveguide-gratings (AWGs). As the wavelength selector has an individual SS-SOA for the wavelength conversion of each channel, there is negligible interference between channels. Four WDM channels with an 2.5 Gb/s modulation were converted from 1555 to 1575 nm. Clear eye openings and only a small power penalty of less than 0.5 dB were observed. The receiver sensitivity was -31 dBm at a bit error rate (BER) of 10-9.
