In optical fibers, the interaction between nonlinear and dispersive effects leads to phenomena such as modulational instability (MI)[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], in which a continuous or quasi-continuous wave undergoes a modulation of its amplitude or phase in the presence of noise or any other small perturbation. The perturbation can originate from quantum noise (spontaneous-MI) or from a frequency shifted signal wave (induced-MI). MI has been observed for the first time for a single pump wave propagating in a standard non birefringe.nt fiber (scalar MI)[7]. It has been shown that scalar MI only occurs when the group velocity dispersion (GVD) is negative (anomalous dispersion regime).
