Modes of nonlinear couplers: building blocks for physical insight

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The physics of nonlinear couplers is dictated by its normal modes, modes that are found from linear (axially uniform) couplers. Elementary power-flow arguments establish whether the mode is stable or unstable. These facts provide the bifurcation diagram that fully characterizes nonlinear coupling.
