Effect of modulation instability on phase modulation-amplitude modulation conversion in optical fibers.
Phase modulation-amplitude modulation conversion in dispersive fibers is affected by nonlinear phase modulation and modulation instability. A differential equation is derived under adiabatic approximations and is solved analytically. The results agree well with experimental values. A simple measurement of the nonlinear coeff icient is thus feasible.
