Abstract
We show that gap-acoustic solitons, i.e., optical gap solitons with electrostrictive coupling to sound modes, can be produced with velocities down to less than 2.5% of the speed of light using a fiber Bragg grating that is linearly coupled to a non-Bragg fiber over a finite domain. Forward- and backward-moving light pulses in the non-Bragg fiber that reach the coupling region simultaneously couple into the Bragg fiber and form a moving soliton, which then propagates beyond the coupling region.
