Abstract
We propose new planar X-junctions and multi-port devices written by spatial solitons, which are composed of two (or more) nonlinearly coupled components in Kerr-type media. Such devices have no radiation losses at a given wavelength. We demonstrate that, for the same relative angle between the channels of the X-junctions, one can vary the transmission coefficients into the output channels by adjusting the polarizations of multi-component solitons. We determine analytically the transmission properties and suggest two types of experimental embodiments of the proposed device.
