Nonlinear phenomena in photonic nanostructures : modulational instabilities and solitons

This thesis discusses nonlinear effects, such as modulation instability and solitons in nano-structured waveguides. The nanoscale optical waveguides have extremely small transverse dimensions, which can provide tight confinement of light. Therefore, by changing the waveguide geometry, the waveguide...
