Characteristics of the Optical Resonator Composed of the Nonlinear Directional Coupler

Abstract

This paper describes a simple analyzing method on the optical resonator compose of the nonlinear directional coupler. Assumed the coupler made in the semiconductor-doped glass with the K⁺-ion diffused technique, the transmitted- and reflected-characteristics are calculated and demonstrated. The parameter dependence of the bistability appearing the transmitted and reflected lights is also presented.
