The complete modulational instability gain spectrum of nonlinear QPM gratings

Optics 2009-11-10 v2

Abstract

We consider plane waves propagating in quadratic nonlinear slab waveguides with nonlinear quasi-phase-matching gratings. We predict analytically and verify numerically the complete gain spectrum for transverse modulational instability, including hitherto undescribed higher order gain bands.
