  • Abstract
    We report the existence of a new class of discrete localized modes in a model describing the propagation of optical waves in nonlinear binary waveguide arrays with alternate positive and negative nearest neighbor coupling. We derive a longwave continuous approximation and characterize some nonlinear continuum bright-dark soliton-like solutions and compared them with the discrete modes.
