摘要: This paper discusses the nonlinear coherent coupler (NLCC), a device useful for optical processing, but not bistable. utilizes interaction of two waveguides placed in close proximity. Because evanescent field overlap, these periodically exchange power. Nonlinear interactions modify power and lead to strongly transmission characteristics.
