- Abstract
- Modulational instability and instability induced dynamics of different kinds of spatially localised solutions of nonlinear equations describing propagation of optical waves are studied using numerical and analytical methods. The main problems considered in the thesis are modulational instability of one dimensional spatial solitons due to group velocity dispersion and azimuthal modulational instability of two-dimensional ring-like structures. These phenomena are studied in media with cubic, quadratic and saturable types of nonlinearity.
