Generation and dynamics of wave packets with a large phase modulation depth

Abstract This paper examines the generation of high-frequency picosecond pulse trains as a result of modulation instability of wave packets with a large phase modulation depth and small amplitude modulation depth. We demonstrate that intermediate amplification of such wave packets and subsequent pha...

Description
Summary:Abstract This paper examines the generation of high-frequency picosecond pulse trains as a result of modulation instability of wave packets with a large phase modulation depth and small amplitude modulation depth. We demonstrate that intermediate amplification of such wave packets and subsequent phase-to-amplitude modulation conversion lead to the formation of pulses with peak powers orders of magnitude higher than their initial power. The corresponding pulse generators can be used to generate a line spectrum.
