摘要: Modulation instability generated by the coherent interaction of two polarization modes in a weakly birefringent optical fiber has been observed normal dispersion regime. In contrast to previous observations cross-phase-modulation visible, sidebands have same polarization, which is orthogonal that pump, and their frequency shift readily controlled variation birefringence fiber. The modulation its qualitative features agree with those theoretically predicted.
