Existence and stability of the fundamental and higher-order solitons, which exist in nonlinear media with asymmetric response and periodic linear refractive index modulation, are presented. It is found that the existence of solitons results in the balance between linear refractive index modulation (optical lattices) and nonlinear refractive index induced by incident optical field. In addition, Dynamical properties of fundamental mode solitons are also investigated in detail, and may be applied in the fields of soliton controlling and steering.
