Published: July 2008

This letter reports the first results on the coupled modulational instability of copropagating spin waves in a magnetic film. Strong instability was observed for the two waves with either attractive or repulsive nonlinearity. If the two waves have attractive nonlinearity, the instability leads to the formation of bright solitons. If the two waves have repulsive nonlinearity, the process results in the formation of black solitons. The instability was also observed for the two waves in separated attractive-repulsive nonlinearity regimes.

An asymmetric pair of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger (CNLS) equations has been derived through a multiscale perturbation method applied to a plasma fluid model, in which two wavepackets of distinct (carrier) wavenumbers ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) and amplitudes ([Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text]) are allowed to co-propagate and interact. The original fluid model was set up for a non-magnetized plasma consisting of cold inertial ions evolving against a [Formula: see text]-distributed electron background in one dimension. The reduction procedure resulting in the CNLS equations has provided analytical expressions for the dispersion, self-modulation and cross-coupling coefficients in terms of the two carrier wavenumbers.

It is known that rogue waves (RWs) are generated by the modulational instability (MI) of the baseband type. Starting with the Bers-Kaup-Reiman system for three-wave resonant interactions, we identify a specific RW-building mechanism based on MI which includes zero wavenumber in the gain band. An essential finding is that this mechanism works solely under a linear relation between the MI gain and a vanishingly small wavenumber of the modulational perturbation.

We experimentally and numerically investigate flat supercontinuum generation in gas-filled anti-resonant guiding hollow-core photonic crystal fiber. By comparing results obtained with either argon or nitrogen we determine the role of the rotational Raman response in the supercontinuum formation. When using argon, a supercontinuum extending from 350 nm to 2 µm is generated through modulational instability.

We present a two-dimensional coupled nonlinear Schrödinger-like system with spatial diffractions, degree of birefringence, and four-wave mixing. This system describes two physical contexts: optical pulse propagation beyond the paraxial approximation in a weakly birefringence waveguide and light propagation near exciton-polariton resonance in semiconductor superlattice materials. We find that such systems naturally support different types of diffraction profiles, including spherical, ellipsoidal, and hyperbolic structures.

The nonlinear dynamics induced by the modulation instability (MI) of a binary mixture in an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) is investigated theoretically under the joint effects of higher-order residual nonlinearities and helicoidal spin-orbit (SO) coupling in a regime of unbalanced chemical potential. The analysis relies on a system of modified coupled Gross-Pitaevskii equations on which the linear stability analysis of plane-wave solutions is performed, from which an expression of the MI gain is obtained. A parametric analysis of regions of instability is carried out, where effects originating from the higher-order interactions and the helicoidal spin-orbit coupling are confronted under different combinations of the signs of the intra- and intercomponent interaction strengths.
