Spatiotemporal Modulation Instability of Coherent Light in Noninstantaneous Nonlinear Media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Periodic pattern of optical modulation instability (MI)1 results from the interplay between the diffraction and self-focusing effects. This interplay amplifies the noise, carried by the light beam, of certain spatial frequency. If the noise is from a static source (e.g. material defects), the resulted MI patterns are no different in either instantaneous or noninstantaneous media. However, it is not the case if the noise is from a dynamic source (e.g. random light scattering).
