Bandgap solitons and subdiffractive solitons

I will review the theory of the soliton formation in Kerr-nonlinear spatially modulated materials: the formation of band-gap solitons for transverse modulation of the refraction index, and the formation of subdiffractive solitons for the transverse and the longitudinal modulation of index.
