    Abstract

    We present a study of exploding soliton and front solutions of the complex cubic-quintic Ginzburg-Landau (CGLE) equation. We show that exploding fronts occur in a region of the parameter space close to that where exploding solitons exist. Explosions occur when eigenvalues in the linear stability analysis for the ground-state stationary solitons have positive real parts. We also study transition from exploding fronts to exploding solitons and observed extremely asymmetric soliton explosions.
