Abstract
Nonlinear wave propagation in a 1D photonic crystal containing single-negative layers is
investigated using the multiple-scale method. In this approach, the electric field is decomposed
into a slowly varying envelope function and a fast Bloch-like function to obtain the analytic
expressions of the effective parameters of an equivalent medium. The periodic structure has an
equivalent left-handed medium for the envelope function. Gap soliton formation is discussed and
compared with that associated with the Bragg gap.
