Abstract
We study the propagation of intense optical beams in layered Kerr media. Wi th appropriate shapes, beams with a power close to the self-focusing thresh old are shown to propagate over long distances as quasistationary waveguide s in cubic media supporting a periodic nonlinear refractive index.
