Pulse-train generation through modulational instability in intracavity second-harmonic generation.
We show, taking dispersion into account, that second-harmonic generation in a cavity can be modulationally unstable. In the monostable mode of operation this instability might predominate with respect to self-pulsing instabilities, leading to the generation of stable solitarylike pulse trains.
