Polariton spectrum in nonlinear dielectric medium
  We obtain theoretically the phonon-polariton spectrum in nonlinear dielectric medium with the third order Kerr-type nonlinearity. We investigate the dependence of number of the polariton spectrum branches on the intensity of electromagnetic field and demonstrate that the appearance of new branches located in the polariton spectrum gap is caused by the influence of dispersion of the third order dielectric susceptibility at intensity field in the medium. The modulation instability of new branch waves leading to appearance of cnoidal waves and solitons.
