The modulational instability, a destabilization mechanism for plane waves, occurs ubiquitously in spatially extended dynamical systems arising in fluid dynamics, nonlinear optics, atomic physics, and other disciplines. In this paper, we investigate analytically, numerically, and experimentally the modulational instability in a layered cubically nonlinear (Kerr) optical medium that consists of a...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional modulational instability in photorefractive media
We study theoretically and experimentally the modulational instability of broad optical beams in photorefractive nonlinear media. The angular dependence of the growth rate of periodic perturbations is calculated. Our findings are confirmed by experimental measurements on a strontium barium niobate photorefractive crystal.
متن کاملModulational instability in nonlocal nonlinear Kerr media.
We study modulational instability (MI) of plane waves in nonlocal nonlinear Kerr media. For a focusing nonlinearity we show that, although the nonlocality tends to suppress MI, it can never remove it completely, irrespective of the particular profile of the nonlocal response function. For a defocusing nonlinearity the stability properties depend sensitively on the response function profile: for...
متن کاملObservation of modulational instability in discrete media with self-defocusing nonlinearity.
We report what we believe is the first observation of modulation instability in the anomalous-diffraction regions of a photonic lattice. The experiments were carried out in a 1D waveguide array fabricated in a lithium niobate crystal displaying the photovoltaic self-defocusing nonlinearity, and our results are confirmed numerically by simulating the nonlinear beam propagation.
