Modulational instability in second-harmonic generation

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that the eigenmodes of the two-wave interaction in a dispersive quadratic medium are unstable with respect to periodic perturbations. This mechanism represents a novel kind of modulational instability that involves the spontaneous generation of sideband pairs around both the fundamental and the second-harmonic frequencies.
