bright solitons (gray area), and dark solitons (black area). Insets show examples of bright and
dark solitons. Parameters are C = 20, T = 0.005, a" = 1, and d = 0.01. (Courtesy C. O. Weiss.)
the transparency point is quite close to the lasing threshold, inversion without lasing is
difficult to realize.
The ability to switch cavity solitons on and off and to control their location and
motion by applying optical pulses suggests that such solitons should be useful as pix-
