Abstract
A coupled-mode analysis of an asymmetric planar nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) is presented by using the singular perturbation technique. The NLDC consists of a nonlinear waveguide with the core of Kerr-like medium and a linear waveguide situated parallel to each other. The effects of linear coupling and nonlinear modification of refractive index are treated to as small perturbations, and the modal fields of isolated linear waveguides are employed as the basis of propagation model. The self-consistent coupled-mode equations governing the power transfer are derived in analytically closed form. The representative numerical result for the input/output characteristics demonstrates that the asymmetric NLDC is useful for constructing a band-pass power-filter or a band-reject power-filter.
