Abstract: | We demonstrate interesting and previously unforeseen
properties of a pair of gap solitons in a resonant photonic crystal
which are predicted and explained in a physically transparent
form using both analytical and numerical methods. The most important
result is the fact that an oscillating gap soliton created by the
presence of a localized population inversion inside the crystal can
be manipulated by means of a proper choice of bit rate, phase
and amplitude modulation. Developing this idea, we are able to
obtain qualitatively different regimes of a resonant photonic
crystal operation. In particular, a noteworthy observation is that
both the delay time and amplitude difference must exceed a certain level
to ensure effective control over the soliton dynamics. |
