Trapping of Light in Nonlinear 1-D Photonic Crystal

TLDR
Theoretical studies on the group velocity of light wave in 1-D polystyrene/SiO2 nonlinear photonic crystal have been carried out in this article, where it was shown that a light wave can be trapped inside the nonlinear 1-dimensional photonic lattice by switching off the controlling wave.
Abstract
Theoretical studies on the group velocity of light wave in 1-D polystyrene/SiO2 nonlinear photonic crystal is investigated. The speed of light wave through these multilayered structures is calculated in the absence as well as in the presence of a high intensity controlling wave by using the transfer matrix method. This letter shows that we can trap a light wave inside the nonlinear 1-D photonic crystal by switching off the controlling wave.
