This book highlights the dynamical behavior of self-similar waves in graded-index waveguides in (1+1)-dimensions and (2+1)-dimensions. Various nonlinear waves like rogons, butterfly-shaped, and dromion-like waves and their controllable behavior are discussed in detail.
Dr Thokala Soloman Raju obtained his M.Phil and Ph.D in Theoretical Physics, from the University of Hyderabad, India, under the supervision of Prof P K Panigrahi. He has held faculty position in several institutes in India that includes BITS-PILANI and IISER Tirupati. His research interests are mainly in the areas of Nonlinear Dynamics with particular emphasis on Solitary waves in Nonlinear Optical waveguides and Bose-Einstein condensates.
