Abstract

We consider the interaction and stability of gap solitons in a one-dimensional, resonant, photonic crystal with a defect state produced by a linear localized mode, or by an incoherent pump. Soliton propagation is investigated using both an analytical treatment and the direct numerical integration of the two-wave Maxwell-Bloch equations. Our results demonstrate that the soliton can be trapped, reflected from, or tunnel through the defect state.
