We study families of one-dimensional matter-wave bright solitons supported by the competition of contact and dipole-dipole (DD) interactions of opposite signs. Soliton families are found, and their stability is investigated in the free…

We demonstrate the existence of wavenumber bandgap (q-gap) breathers in a time-periodic phononic lattice. These breathers are localized in time and periodic in space, and are the counterparts to the classical breathers found in…

We investigate the dynamics of modulational instability (MI) in $\cal PT$-symmetric fiber Bragg gratings with a phenomenon of intermodulation known as four-wave mixing (FWM). Although the impact of FWM has already been analyzed in the…

An ElectroMagnetic Solver (EMS) [Chen et al., Phys. Plasmas, 13, 123507 (2006)] is employed to model a spectral gap and a gap eigenmode in a periodic structure in the whistler frequency range. A Radially Localised Helicon (RLH) mode…

We study effects of the spontaneous symmetry-breaking (SSB) in solitons built of the dipolar Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC), trapped in a dual-core system with the dipole-dipole interactions (DDIs) and hopping between the cores. Two…

We derive a nonlinear Schroedinger equation with a radical term, in the form of the square root of (1-|V|^2), as an asymptotic model of the optical medium built as a periodic set of thin layers of two-level atoms, resonantly interacting…

We consider a quasi-one-dimensional two-component systm, described by a pair of Nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger/Gross-Pitaevskii Equations (NLSEs/GPEs), which are coupled by the linear mixing, with local strength $\Omega $, and by the nonlinear…
