Abstract
Using the Galerkin criterion in the basis of flexible generalized Gaussian modes, the equations of motion are derived for the parameters of a misalign ed astigmatic twisted Gaussian beam in an axially symmetric nonlinear mediu m. Nontrivial features of the beam dynamics (e.g., phase locking, cycle gen eration, nonlinear symmetry change) in a parabolic waveguide with Kerr nonl inearity are revealed. [S1063-651X(99)00312-8].
