Abstract
We analyze the existence and stability of nonlinear guided waves in a periodic medium with a single or periodic array of nonlinear layers. We describe novel types of stable nonlinear band-gap localized states, and also reveal an important physical mechanism of the oscillatory wave instabilities associated with the band-gap resonances.
