Abstract
Using the variational approximation, we analyze the evolution of solit ons in a twin-core nonlinear optical fiber whose coupling coefficient has both constant and spatially periodic parts. The influence on switc hing of direct and parametric resonances between the period of the ene rgy oscillation within the coupler and the periodic modulation is cons idered, as is the influence of the modulation on a bifurcation that sp lits the stationary symmetric soliton into a pair of asymmetric ones.
