Modulation instability induced by cross-phase modulation

Agrawal, Govind P.·1987·Physical Review Letters

Abstract

Modulation instability that leads to breakup of intense cw radiation into a train of ultrashort pulses during propagation in optical fibers occurs only in the presence of anomalous group-velocity dispersion. It is shown that a new kind of modulation instability can occur even in the normal-dispersion regime when two copropagating optical fields interact with each other through cross-phase modulation initiated by the nonlinearity. The quantitative aspects of this cross-phase--modulation--induced modulation instability are discussed and illustrated by use of a realistic experimental example.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
