Abstract
A simple model is used to simulate the dynamic properties of coupled nonlinear microcavities. The model has been checked using a nonlinear finite difference time domain code. We show that two coupled nonlinear cavities with a Kerr nonlinearity can have multistable or self pulsing behaviors. Finally, an application as a positive pulse all-optical memory is proposed.
