Abstract :
Summary form only given. We have demonstrated the theoretical feasibility of observing both nonlinear switching, and gap soliton formation in a microresonator structure only 50 /spl mu/m long. We have performed simulations that indicate that such qualitative effects persist in the presence of overall material loss characterized by an average coefficient of 5 cm/sup -1/.
