Abstract
The stationary localized states of light fluxes propagating in periodic sys tems of plane-parallel nonlinear waveguides are investigated. It is shown t hat the problem is reducible to that of a model of connected anharmonic osc illators. All of the parameters of such an oscillator model are found exact ly from the microscopic description of the problem. The solution for an opt ical beam localized perpendicularly to the direction of its propagation is analytically derived.
