heal.abstract	A novel method for obtaining analytical solitary wave solutions of the nonlinear Kronig-Penney model in periodic photonic structures with self-defocusing nonlinearity is applied for providing generic families of solutions corresponding to the gaps of the linear band structure. Characteristic cases are shown to be quite robust under propagation. (c) 2006 Optical Society of America.	en
