We theoretically study the effect of pulse trapping inside one-dimensional photonic crystal with relaxing cubic nonlinearity. We analyze dependence of light localization on pulse intensity and explain its physical mechanism as connected with the formation of a dynamical nonlinear cavity inside the structure. We search for the range of optimal values of parameters (relaxation time and pulse duration) and show that pulse trapping can be observed only for positive nonlinearity coefficients. We suppose that this effect can be useful for realization of optical memory and limiting.
