Abstract: Modulation instability refers to the sensitivity of dispersive, weakly nonlinear systems to small perturbations and may be used as a source of optical gain. Here, the phase-sensitive properties of modulation instability with harmonic seeding in passive fiber resonators are investigated in theory and experiments.
