摘要：

Experimental evidence of bouncing localized structures in a nonlinear optical system is reported. Oscillations in the position of the localized states are described by a consistent amplitude equation, which we call the Lifshitz normal form equation, in analogy with phase transitions. Localized structures are shown to arise close to the Lifshtiz point, where nonvariational terms drive the dynamics into complex and oscillatory behaviors.
