Propagation of Spatially and Temporally Incoherent Light and Modulation Instability in Non-instantaneous Nonlinear Media

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We present a theory describing propagation of spatially and temporally incoherent light in non-instantaneous nonlinear media, and demonstrate the existence of modulation instability of ”white” light. We find that modulation instability of ”white” light is fundamentally a collective effect, where all the temporal frequencies participate in the formation of a pattern, and self-adjust their respective contributions.
