Abstract
It is shown that when saturation is taken into account, the transmission fu nction of a directional coupler is more complicated than the Kerr function. Specifically, transmission characteristics with two critical points of sel f-switching exist. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7850(99)0 0209-8].
