Abstract
Using coupled mode theory we consider transmission in a T-shaped waveguide coupled withtwo identical symmetrically positioned nonlinear micro-cavities with mirror symmetry. Forinput power injected into the central waveguide we show the existence of a symmetrybreaking solution which is a result of mixing of the symmetrical input wave with anantisymmetric standing wave in the Fabry–Pérot interferometer. With growth of the inputpower, a feature in the form of loops arises in the solution which originates from bistabilityin the transmission in the output left/right waveguide coupled with the first/secondnonlinear cavity. The domains of stability of the solution are found. The breaking of mirrorsymmetry gives rise to nonsymmetrical left and right outputs. We demonstrate thatthis phenomenon can be explored for all-optical switching of light transmissionfrom the left output waveguide to the right one by application of input pulses.
