This paper describes a simple method of analysis of an optical resonator composed of a nonlinear directional coupler. Assuming the coupler is made in semiconductor‐doped glass by the K + ‐ion diffused technique, the transmission and reflection characteristics are calculated and demonstrated. The parameter dependence of the bistability appearing in the transmitted and reflected light is also presented. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
