Study of modulation instability and solitary waves in nonlinear optical systems

Abstract

Modulation instability MI is a well known and most ubiquitous and widespread type of instability that appears in most nonlinear systems In Physics it appears in many branches of physics such as hydrodynamics plasma physics and electrodynamics low temperature physics and quite obviously in nonlinear optics One of the most fascinating and important manifestations of the phenomenon of modulation instability is the solitary waves commonly called solitons Solitons are robust localized tra
