Abstract
The propagation of surface or guided electromagnetic waves is considered for structures consisting of two or more dielectric media, at least one of which is nonlinear, that are separated by parallel, planar interfaces. The conditions are obtained under which bright envelope surface-polariton solitons can exist in these structures. Two physical systems are analyzed that can, in principle, sustain such nonlinear surface excitations.Keywords
