Abstract
We obtain solitary-wave solutions of a model describing light propagation in binary (linearly and nonlinearly) waveguide arrays. This model describes energy localization and transport in various physical settings, ranging from metal-dielectric (i.e., plasmonic) to photonic crystal waveguides. The solitons exist for focusing, defocusing, and even for alternating focusing-defocusing nonlinearity.
