We achieved wide-band wavelength conversion through four-wave mixing in W3-type AlGaAs photonic crystal waveguides. The large third-order nonlinearity of AlGaAs and its large bandgap in the 1550 nm range enabled us to avoid two-photon absorption. We obtained a four-wave mixing efficiency of -7 dB for a pump peak power of 7 W, and a conversion bandwidth greater than 38 nm with a conversion efficiency of -22 dB by utilizing the two even guided bands of the W3-type photonic crystal waveguide.
