44. The localized dipolar solution of Eq. (13) were first obtained by E.G. Shapiro and S.K. Turitsyn in the context of the Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation, describing e.g. two parallel waveguide channels in a nonlinear optical medium, here φ designates the envelope of the optical field. In that context it is expected that these waveguides will be unstable for two-dimensional perturbations, which may ultimately lead to a collapse of the waveguides.
