ABSTRACT:
A gap-soliton structure is provided. The gap-soliton structure includes a cladding structure having alternating layers of different index values. A core region is interposed between the alternating layers of index values. The core or the cladding structure includes one or more nonlinear materials so as to achieve gap-soliton bistability.
