We study nonlinearity management in optics by investigating the propagation of localized pulses and plane waves in a layered, cubically nonlinear (Kerr) medium that consists of alternating layers of glass and air. We show that such nonlinearity management delays the blow‐up/collapse of pulses and leads to a band structure of modulationally unstable regions for plane waves. We find excellent agreement between experiments, numerical simulations, and theory. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
