Abstract
In this paper we discuss the characteristics of the nonlinear coaxial coupler and compare the results with the parallel fibre coupler. The coupled differential equations which describe this nonlinear device are investigated for the case where the nonlinear terms are unequal. It is shown that for the coaxial coupler the critical power is greatly modified due to these unequal nonlinear terms.
