Abstract
Soliton solutions in acoustic modes [1] and in optic modes [1] of solids have been studied in the past. Envelope soliton solutions of coupled exciton-electromagnetic mode systems [2] and coupled two-level atom-electromagnetic mode systems [1] have also been studied. In this paper we wish to present soliton solutions for coupled optic mode-electromagnetic mode systems (for which linear sinusoidal excitations are called polaritons) and for coupled optic mode-acoustic mode systems. Since the mathematical derivations are similar in the two cases, we will present only the former one in detail.
