Abstract

It was studied analytically and numerically the excitation of modulation instability and dissipative solitons, and also bistability phenomena in molecular j-aggregates at resonance optical pumping. Three-particle molecular interactions connected with exciton-exciton annihilation in chains were taking into account. Modulation instability boundaries both in the bistability region and outside it were determined. The investigation of various soliton types was carried out.
