Sensitivity of two-core liber coupling to light-Induced defects

Abstract

The nonlinear directional coupler based on the intensity-dependent refractive index is a potentially important device for all-optical signal processing in ultrahigh bit rate communication networks. Since it was originally proposed by Jensen1 several applications as a logic gate, pulse compressor, and optical transistor have been proposed. In a dual core optical fiber nonlinear directional coupler, all-optical switching in the femtosecond regime has been demonstrated.2
