dc.description.abstract	Propagation of large-amplitude electromagnetic fields and their interactions with small-amplitude waves in finite superlattices are considered in the framework of the sine-Gordon theory. Finite-size effects result in modulating the large-amplitude fields to a lattice of kinked waves. This kink-lattice wave displays both a soliton feature and the particle property typical to nonlinear topological excitations. The interaction of the kink lattice soliton with weak electromagnetic waves reveals an unusual number (exactly three) of bound states, which is attributed to the finite size of the propagation medium	en_US
