Abstract
We predict that robust routing of slow-light pulses is possible between antisymmetrically coupled photonic-crystal waveguides. We demonstrate that for all pulses with the group velocities varying by several orders of magnitude, the complete switching occurs at the fixed coupling length of just several unit cells of the photonic crystal.
