Nonlinear directional coupler with a diffusive Kerr-type nonlinearity

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present numerical results showing the effects of a diffusive Kerr-type nonlinearity on the switching characteristics of a nonlinear directional coupler. It is found that switching can still occur even when the diffusion length is equal to the waveguide separation but that then its threshold increases and becomes less pronounced.
