Abstract

The model of the composite symmetric waveguide consisting of self-focusing slab between defocusing nonlinear media separated by interfaces characterized by own nonlinearity response is proposed. Two new types of nonlinear surface waves propagating along it with anti-phase amplitude oscillations at interface planes are found. The frequencies of the nonlinear surface waves existing near the interfaces with the nonlinear response only are calculated analytically. The conditions of the surface wave existence are found. The frequencies and localization distances of the surface waves in dependence on nonlinearity waveguide parameters, slab width and interface characteristics are analyzed.
