Description

Standing modulating pulse solutions consist of a standing pulse-like envelope modulating an underlying spatially and temporarily oscillating carrier wave. Using spatial dynamics, invariant manifold theory and normal form theory for periodic systems we construct such solutions on large domains in time and space for a nonlinear wave equation with spatially periodic coefficients. Such solutions play an important role in theoretical scenarios where photonic crystals are used as optical storage
