Dissipative solitons in nonlinear optical devices with refractive index modulation

We study pattern formation in nonlinear cavities with a photonic crystal film inside. We demonstrate the existence of modulational instability, resting and moving dissipative solitons resulting from the Bragg scattering at the refractive index modulation and investigate role played by the defects in periodicity.
