摘要：
We show that in a nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC) in which the signal is controlled by a pump of appropriate and different wavelength, the power needed for full switching is 3 times lower than for the same device used as a self switch. This power requirement is only root 3 times higher than for a Mach-Zehnder snitch, which makes the NLDC even more appealing for practical multiplexing and switching applications.
