Abstract
The formation of optical Bragg waveguides in stratified media possessing a Kerr-type nonlinearity is examined. This is achieved by considering Jacobi elliptic functions matched to decaying Bloch wave solutions. It is shown that above a threshold power guided mode solutions exist whose field confinement is a function of the total guided power
