Abstract
We show that modulation instability can exist with partially spatially incoherent light beams in a noninstantaneous nonlinear environment. For such incoherent modulation instability to occur, the value of the nonlinearity has to exceed a threshold imposed by the degree of spatial coherence.Year: 2000 PMID: 11015940 DOI: 10.1103/PhysRevLett.84.467
