Abstract :
PT-Symmetry is one of the interesting topics in quantum mechanics and
optics. One of the demonstration of PT-Symmetric effects in optics is appeared in the
nonlinear directional coupler (NLDC). In the paper we numerically investigate the
stability of temporal bright solitons propagate in a PT-Symmetric NLDC by considering
gain in bar and loss in cross. By using the analytical solutions of perturbed eigenfunctions
and corresponding eigenvalues the stability of temporal bright solitons is studied
numerically. Three perturbed eigenfunctions corresponding to the two eigenvalues are
examined for stability. The results show that the two degenerate eigenfunctions are
unstable while other one is stable which have important result that the eigenfunctions are
equilibrium function but not stable for all cases. Stability is tested by using energy of
perturbed soliton that propagate thought the length of NLDC. In addition, the behavior of
solitons under instable perturbation in a PT-Symmetric NLDC can be used to design
integrated optics at Nano scales, for ultrafast all optical communication systems and logic
gates.
