Abstract

As is well known, the interplay between optical Kerr effect and chromatic dispersion leads to the phenomenon of modulational instability (MI) of light waves [1]. Such instability, also called Benjamin-Feir instability, occurs in different physical environments : plasmas, fluids, solid-state lattices, electrical circuits and nonlinear optics.
