  The paper addresses the bistability caused by spontaneous symmetry breaking
bifurcation in a one-dimensional periodically corrugated nonlinear waveguide
pumped by coherent light at normal incidence. The formation and the stability
of the switching waves connecting the states of different symmetries are
studied numerically. It is shown that the switching waves can form stable
resting and moving bound states (dissipative solitons). The protocols of the
creation of discussed nonlinear localized waves are suggested and verified by
numerical simulations.
