Abstract

Polarization may be an interesting parameter in optical computing devices1. Polarization induced irradiance switching was proposed as a new switching mechanism in nonlinear Fabry-Perot (NLFP) etalons under oblique incidence 2. In this context, the stationary response of Fabry-Perot etalons containing an anisotropic medium exhibiting a diffusive Kerr-type nonlinearity was investigated 3. Here, we will adress the question of the influence of polarization on the response of a nonlinear prism coupler (NLPC), where the waveguide shows a diffusive third order nonlinearity.
