  • Abstract
    A novel photonic device is proposed for optical switching by using a corner-bend waveguide structure with a Kerr-like nonlinear dielectric interface. For certain specific input signal power, the device proposed can also function as a power divider. The switching characteristics and spatial soliton propagation in the structure are discussed.
