Abstract

We present an analytical model of the self- and cross-phase-modulation-induced modulation instabilities in nonlinear, dispersive, homogeneously broadened, unsaturable fiber amplifiers. The rigorous treatment of the gain dispersion and of the gain-induced, near-resonance refractive-index dispersion permits description of the general case of arbitrary detuning between the laser frequency and the resonance and arbitrary bandwidth of the amplifying transition. Simple closed-form expressions are obtained for the combined gain coefficients and, in the self-phase-modulation-induced case only, for the integrated gain. A qualitatively new modulation-instability regime of an isolated wave in the normal group-velocity-dispersion region is described.
