%0 Journal Article %T The complete modulational instability gain spectrum of nonlinear QPM gratings %A J. F. Corney %A Ole Bang %J Physics %D 2003 %I arXiv %R 10.1364/JOSAB.21.000617 %X We consider plane waves propagating in quadratic nonlinear slab waveguides with nonlinear quasi-phase-matching gratings. We predict analytically and verify numerically the complete gain spectrum for transverse modulational instability, including hitherto undescribed higher order gain bands. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/physics/0305116v2
