In this paper we review the progress made in implementing nonlinear directional couplers as potential all-optical switching devices. We will discuss the operation of the coupler and its application as an all-optical multiplexing, demultiplexing element and consider the possibility of integrating more than one nonlinear switching element. The limitation of dispersion and nonlinear absorption will also be addressed.
