Abstract
Considering the coherent nonlinear dynamics between two weakly linked optical waveguide arrays, we find the first example of coexistence of Josephson oscillations with a novel self-trapping regime. This macroscopic bistability is explained by proving analytically the simultaneous existence of symmetric, antisymmetric, and asymmetric stationary solutions of the associated nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The effect is illustrated and confirmed by numerical simulations. This property allows us to conceive an optical switch based on the variation of the refractive index of the linking central waveguide.
