Abstract
Recent experimental studies1 have shown that normal group velocity dispersion (NGVD) deteriorates seriously the performance of nonlinear directional couplers in the high-intensity propagation regime. In this contribution we numerically demonstrate that for similar intensities and propagation distances NGVD may lead to bifurcations involving Y junctions and breather solitons.
