Abstract

A numerical study of continuous-wave and pulse propagation in three-core fibre nonlinear directional couplers is presented. Intensity dependent demultiplexing is illustrated; in particular, novel nonlinear behaviour where a very small change in peak input intensity alters the core from which a pulse emerges.
