Soliton switching in an asymmetric nonlinear directional coupler with dissimilar core sizes is studied numerically. A new Schrödinger type coupled nonlinear equations describing the switching dynamics is presented. The relevant coupler parameters are calculated. It is shown that the asymmetric coupler exhibits soliton switching only if the deviation from the symmetry is slight and in the weak coupling regime.

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
