We present a numerical study of all-optical switching in Kerr-nonlinear plasmonic directional couplers. We consider planar couplers that consist of two identical plasmonic slot waveguides and demonstrate the influence of geometrical and optical parameters on switching characteristics. Underlying physical mechanisms that affect the coupler performance are briefly discussed, too.
