Abstract
It is commonly believed that remarkable peculiarities of nonlinear optical waveguide arrays (NOWA) can be exploited in all-optical signal processing, amplification, and generation of pulse trains. Up to now, only one-component field NOWAs have been studied.1 However, frequently a situation is encountered where two waves, i.e., components with different frequencies or polarizations, copropagate in a waveguide. Then the cubic nonlinearity provides a nonlinear coupling between these waves providing cross-phase modulation.
