Résumé

In the present paper we survey some recents results concerning existence of semiclassical standing waves solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Furthermore, from Maxwell's equations we derive a nonlinear Schrödinger equation which represents a model of propagation of an electromagnetic field in optical waveguides.
