Abstract

Modulation Instability (MI) is a universal process that appears in most nonlinear wave systems in nature. Because of MI, small amplitude and phase perturbations (from noise) grow rapidly under the combined effects of nonlinearity and diffraction (or dispersion, in the temporal domain). As a result, a broad optical beam (or a quasi-CW pulse) disintegrates during propagation, leading to filamentation or to break-up into pulse trains.
