Abstract
In the scalar description of wave propagation in optical fibers governed by the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE), modulation instability (MI) can occur only in the anomalous-dispersion regime, and this was the first form оf MI to de observed.1 The coherent interaction of two different circularly polarized waves of the same frequency propagating in a birefringent fiber has also been predicted to give rise to modulation instability in both the normal- and the anomalous-dispersion regimes.2
