Abstract
In recent years, discrete solitons in nonlinear lattices have received considerable attention in many branches of science.1 In optics, nonlinear waveguide arrays provide an excellent system where these entities can be experimentally studied and possibly used for all-optical applications.2,3 In this latter context, discrete solitons (DS) are self-localized states that exist due to the balance between linear coupling effects and material nonlinearity.
