Abstract
The long distance dynamics of modulational instability in optical fibers is studied. A perturbed nonlinear Schrödinger equation which includes higher order dispersive and nonlinear terms as well as damping is investigated. When damping is significant, amplifiers are used to compensate for the fiber losses. Periodically modulated cw waves are shown to evolve chaotically for a variety of physical parameters. A nonlinear spectral analysis of the data shows that the chaotic evolution is characterized by homoclinic transitions in the spectrum. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.
