A collective modulation instability of multiple four-wave mixing

Optics 2011-05-31 v2 Pattern Formation and Solitons

Abstract

We investigate the modulation instability of multiple four-wave mixing arising from a dual-frequency pump in a single-mode fiber or waveguide. By applying the Floquet theory on account of the periodic nature of four-wave mixing, we reveal a collective type of instability occurring in the anomalous dispersion regime. Our interpretation of the linear stability analysis is validated by the numerical solution of the nonlinear Schroedinger equation
