To enable the emerging quantum internet, quantum frequency conversion is also essential for bridging different quantum systems over optical fiber networks. In this work, aiming at a frequency-multiplexed quantum internet, we present a channel-selective quantum frequency conversion (CS-QFC) based on difference frequency generation in a PPLN waveguide, which has been widely used in conventional QFC experiments. The CS-QFC converts a frequency of a photon at a single frequency to any frequency in the DWDM channels by dynamically selecting one of the pump lights. In the experiment, we demonstrated the CS-QFC from 780 nm to around 1540 nm employing one of the pump lights around 1580 nm detuned with a spacing of 25 GHz. From the experiment using the laser light, we showed that the output-frequency tunability of our CS-QFC reaches 2.5 THz, which corresponds to the ability to establish a 100-ch DWDM dynamic link from a single quantum system. Using photon pairs, we performed an experiment in which photons were routed into seven of the DWDM channels. As a result, photons were converted to the channels corresponding to the pump frequencies, while keeping the nonclassical cross-correlation functions, and no crosstalk to the other channels was observed.},
