AbstractThe present paper is aimed to the exploration of acousto-optic (AO) modulational amplification in ion implanted semiconductors. The AO modulational process has been treated as a four wave parametric mixing process and the effective third-order acousto-optic susceptibility characterizing the instability process has been deduced. By considering that the origin of modulational interaction lies in the third order AO susceptibility arising from the nonlinear induced current density and using the coupled mode theory, an analytical investigation of an intense laser beam in a strain dependent dielectric constant (SDDC) semiconductor crystal is presented. We found a significant change in threshold and gain characteristics with changes in charge imbalance parameter. The presence of colloidal grains (CGs) plays an effective role in changing the threshold intensity and effective gain constant.

AbstractA system of equations for modulational interaction of the electromagnetic branch of drift waves with magnetic cells is constructed. The solution of these equations describes formation of a set of magnetic cells with oppositely directed magnetic fields at their boundaries.

Abstract. We investigate the possibility that lower-hybrid solitary structures (LHSS), which are frequently observed in the Earth's ionosphere and magnetosphere, are formed as a result of a modulational interaction between lower-hybrid and dispersive Alfvén waves of initially small amplitude. A large amplitude lower-hybrid pump wave can excite density structures with length scales transverse to the geomagnetic field of the order of the ion gyroradius via a modulational instability. The structure formation in the nonlinear stage of the instability is investigated by numerical solutions of the governing equations, using plasma parameters relevant for LHSS observations in the upper ionosphere and in the magnetosphere. The numerical solutions reveal that the lower-hybrid waves become self-localized inside cylindrically symmetric (with respect to the ambient magnetic field) density cavities, in qualitative agreement with observations. Our model includes thermal electron effects but shows no stabilization at the ion sound gyroradius, suggesting that any preference of observed LHSS for that perpendicular scale likely is due to processes arresting the cavity collapse.

The modulational interaction of two waves propagating in a cubically nonlinear medium is considered. It is shown that the correct theory operates with ‘renormalized’ equations for the linear dielectric function and for an effective third-order medium response. This renormalization is due to so-called interference terms. The appearance of interference terms is a specific feature of the two-mode modulational instability in comparison with the well-known instability of a single mode.
