    Abstract

    We investigate slow light enhanced optical forces between parallel periodic waveguides when one waveguide is shifted longitudinally relative to the other. We show that changes to the waveguide symmetry properties can modify the transverse force from repulsive to attractive while also introducing a longitudinal force which is absent in unshifted structures.
