Abstract
We consider a nonlinear oppositely direct coupler with a negative-index metamaterial channel and a modified Kerr-type saturable nonlinearity (MSN). We presented an analytical expression for MI gain. Special attention is paid to investigation of the influence of system parameters such as the forward to backward-propagating wave's, the power, nonlinear parameters and nonlinear saturable parameter on the MI. The MSN behaves in a perceptible manner such that the gain and the unstable region inherently decrease. In the normal and anomalous dispersion region, the gain of the instability spectrum increases (decreases) monotonously with increases (decreases) of saturable nonlinearity. In other term, when the saturable parameter or the input power increases, the MI peak gain and the gain band-width may increase and then decrease.
