Abstract
We discuss a novel kind of nonlinear coupler with one channel filled with a negative index metamaterial. The opposite directionality of the phase velocity and the energy flow in the negative index metamaterial channel facilitates an effective feedback mechanism that leads to optical bistability and gap soliton formation.Year: 2007 PMID： 17930439 DOI： 10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.113902
