Abstract :
We present an optimization-based method for the analysis of modulation instability effects in a resonant cavity. This method allows for varying levels of approximation in the solution and for the inclusion of effects such as loss or gain, if significant. The method is then demonstrated with examples showing the effects of the cavity modes on the gain curves.
