Switching management in couplers with biharmonic longitudinal modulation of refractive index

Optics 2016-04-13 v1 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We address light propagation in couplers with longitudinal biharmonic modulation of refractive index in neighboring channels. While simplest single-frequency out-of-phase modulation allows suppression of coupling for strictly defined set of resonant frequencies, the addition of modulation on multiple frequency dramatically modifies the structure of resonances. Thus, additional modulation on double frequency may suppress primary resonance, while modulation on triple frequency causes fusion of primary and secondary resonances.
