Modulational instability and space–time dynamics in nonlinear parabolic-index optical fibers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Beam propagation in multimode graded-index parabolic optical fibers in the presence of group-velocity dispersion and Kerr nonlinearity is theoretically investigated. It is shown that a modulational instability arising from the periodic spatial focusing of the beam takes place regardless of the sign of fiber dispersion, leading to a highly nonlinear space–time dynamics and the generation of ultrashort optical pulses.
