Abstract
The evolution of a strip (one-dimensional) fundamental beam with propa gation distance owing to spatial modulational instabilities was analyz ed in a quadratic medium near type I phase matching. We obtained the g ain coefficient for the modulational instability and showed that the w ave evolves into a clean periodic sequence of solitary waves and does not reproduce the incident beam.
