Modified theory of three-channel Kerr-type nonlinear directional coupler

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We point out inconsistencies in previous analyses of multiple-channel nonlinear directional couplers based on Kerr-type media and present a modified set of coupled-mode equations for a three-channel nonlinear coupler that indicate a mode of power switching between channels with increased input power that is both qualitatively and quantitatively different from that predicted previously.
