Abstract
Evanescent-type couplers composed of identical anisotropic cores with nonaligned stress axes reveal interesting propagation characteristics, such as power transfer occurring on two different length scales and reduced polarization holding capacity. The four normal modes have different propagation constants and electric field vectors which are skew to each other.Keywords
