Abstract

The nonlinear directional coupler is analyzed in the presence of asymmetrically distributed and saturable nonlinear refractive index. We make use of the linear supermodes of the structure and phase-space techniques, which allows to obtain the main features of its behavior, without the need of solving the coupled mode equations.
