Abstract

Modulational instability (MI) is a fundamental process in nonlinear wave propagation, appearing as a precursor to both solitons and pattern formation. In MI, a small perturbation on top of a plane wave background grows due to nonlinear effects, until diffraction or dispersion counterbalances the effect. This paper reports on the first observation of MI and spontaneous pattern formation with incoherent "white" light emitted from a bulb.
