Abstract

The study of nonlinear waves in layered structures proposed in Refs.[1] and [2] has become widespread, stimulated by the progress in the early 1980’s. The possibility of using such waves in optoelectronic devices spurred advances in both theory and experiment [3-7]. Propagation of waves in nonlinear waveguides is usually considered in passive optical systems Ca case of transparent media).
