The analytical solutions were obtained directly from the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations. The transmission characteristics of first order solitons obtained by the analytical procedure agree well with the results from numerical analysis. Three different geometries for the nonlinear three-core directional coupler were studied. Taking into account the length of the coupler and the critical power a comparative study between these geometries was done. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. S0021-8979(98)05916-7
