Abstract
An anti-guiding structure is shown to assist spatial soliton dragging logic gate. A weak beam easily breaks the balanced symmetry of a pump propagating in an anti-guide, allowing very efficient optical switching. More than an order of magnitude improvement over previous spatial dragging gates is possible.
