Modulational instability — In the field of nonlinear optics, modulational instability is a phenomenon whereby deviations from an optical waveform are reinforced by nonlinearity, leading to the generation of spectral sidebands and the eventual breakup of the waveform into a … Wikipedia
Nonlinear optics — (NLO) is the branch of optics that describes the behaviour of light in nonlinear media, that is, media in which the dielectric polarization P responds nonlinearly to the electric field E of the light. This nonlinearity is typically only observed… … Wikipedia

Zero-dispersion wavelength — In a single mode optical fiber, the zero dispersion wavelength is the wavelength or wavelengths at which material dispersion and waveguide dispersion cancel one another. In all silica based optical fibers, minimum material dispersion occurs… … Wikipedia
Kerr effect — This article is about the Kerr nonlinear optical effect. For the magneto optic phenomenon of the same name, see magneto optic Kerr effect. The Kerr effect, also called the quadratic electro optic effect (QEO effect), is a change in the refractive … Wikipedia
