Abstract
Switching of bistable solitons in a recently proposed doubly and inhomogeneously doped fiber system is studied numerically. It is shown that both up-switching and down- switching of solitons between bistable states are realizable in the given model, if the amplification of the input soliton for up-switching and the extraction of energy from it for down-switching are suitably adjusted.
