摘要: We analyzed the evolution of chirped optical pulses in a nonlinear directional coupler by coupled Schrodinger equations. It is shown that an launched into one channel can couple out from either two channels coupler, with routing determined chirp pulse. This different previous mechanism where peak power Based on chirp-dependent feature, all-optical router and switch could be implemented pulse modulation.
