    Abstract

    We study the dynamical scattering in one-dimensional systems with a nonlinear side-coupled defect. Such structures exhibit the nonlinear Fano resonances, where nothing can propagate through. We developed a numerical model to study dynamical scattering. According to our analysis the scattering waves become dynamically unstable in the vicinity of the nonlinear Fano resonances, due to modulational instability caused by the presence of nonlinearity. It results in a time-growing amplitude of the nonlinear defect. We also demonstrate the existence of the nonlinear quasi-localized state, supported by such structures.
