  • Abstract
    We suggest novel opportunities for power-controlled switching and slowing down of optical pulses in coupled waveguides with phase-shifted Bragg gratings, combined with cancellation of dispersion-induced pulse broadening through enhanced nonlinear self-action in the slow-light regime.
