Polarization modulation instability in optical fibers with periodically varying birefringence

Abstract

In the normal dispersion regime, two forms of modulation instability have been observed when birefringent single mode fibres are subjected to intense pump pulses. These instabilities are the cross phase or XPMI process [1,2] and the coherent or PMI process [3,4]. We report here a new method for phase matching the PMI process, by using a winding geometry in which the birefringence of the fibre varies periodically along the fibre.
