Original Abstract

We discuss a trade-off between losses and nonlinearity levels required for the switching operation in Kerr-nonlinear nanophotonic and nanoplasmonic directional couplers. We also consider some geometrical and material modifications with the aim of improving the nonlinear characteristics.

Keywords
