Abstract
We report the influence of higher order nonlinearity on dispersion relation and multistability in oppositely directed coupler with negative index material channel. The study shows that the high intensity electric field shifts the photonic bandgap down in energy. When the positive index material channel of the coupler is influenced by quintic nonlinearity the group velocity of upper branch of dispersion curve (δ–q curve) falls to zero in positive q region and the loop in the lower branch shifts to positive q region. But the minima in upper branch and loop in the lower branch are observed at negative q region when the negative index material channel is influenced by χ(5) nonlinearity. As the curvature of the dispersion relation determines the group velocity dispersion the study report the possibility for dispersion engineering in oppositely directed coupler. Also we observed that the quintic nonlinearity enhances formation of multi stable states.
