Abstract
Recent experimental and theoretical work on nonlinear waveguide arrays is presented. Experimental results of the observation of ultrafast sw itching in both uniformly and nonuniformly three-, four-, and eight-co re couplers are discussed. The experimental results agree well with nu merical simulations of the couplers produced with a fast-Fourier-trans form beam propagation code. (C) 1997 Optical Society of America.
