Experiments on induced modulational instability of an incoherent optical beam.
We report the observation of modulational instability (MI) of a partially spatially incoherent beam induced by seeding noise through cross-phase modulation. We show experimentally that a threshold exists for such induced incoherent MI to occur that depends on the degree of spatial coherence as well as on the strength of the nonlinearity. Above threshold, the induced MI leads to the formation of...
متن کاملInstability and evolution of nonlinearly interacting water waves.
We consider the modulational instability of nonlinearly interacting two-dimensional waves in deep water, which are described by a pair of two-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We derive a nonlinear dispersion relation. The latter is numerically analyzed to obtain the regions and the associated growth rates of the modulational instability. Furthermore, we follow the long term ...
متن کاملModulational instability in crossing sea states: a possible mechanism for the formation of freak waves.
Here we consider a simple weakly nonlinear model that describes the interaction of two-wave systems in deep water with two different directions of propagation. Under the hypothesis that both sea systems are narrow banded, we derive from the Zakharov equation two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Given a single unstable plane wave, here we show that the introduction of a second plane wave...
متن کاملModulational instability of spinor condensates
We demonstrate, analytically and numerically, that the ferromagnetic phase of the spinor Bose-Einstein condenstate may experience modulational instability of the ground state leading to a fragmentation of the spin domains. Together with other nonlinear effects in the atomic optics of ultra-cold gases (such as coherent photoassociation and four-wave mixing) this effect provides one more analogy ...
متن کاملModulational instability in the dynamics of interacting wave packets: the extended Korteweg-de Vries equation
This paper is concerned with interacting wave packet dynamics for long waves. The Kortweg-de Vries equation is the most well-known model for weakly nonlinear long waves. Although the dynamics of a single wave packet in this model is governed by the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation, implying that a plane wave is modulationally stable, the dynamics of two interacting wave packets is gove...
