    Abstract

    We apply Lagrangian techniques to dissipative systems described by the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation (CGLE) that is used for modeling passively mode-locked fiber lasers and all-optical soliton transmission lines. In particular, using Lagrangian equations, we re-derive the known exact solutions of the CGLE. We also apply the technique to finding approximate solutions for pulsating solitons.
