The Nonlinear Physics Centre is engaged in the fundamental research on nonlinear phenomena and nonlinear localized waves and solitons in various branches of physics. The interdisciplinary research of the group covers several topics such as nonlinear effects in bulk media and optical fibers, all-optical switching devices, nanooptics and photonic crystals, self-trapping effects and energy transfer in condensed matter physics and biopolymers, nonlinear atom optics and the dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensates.
