Abstract
The modulational instability gain spectra, of an arbitrarily polarized intense pump wave that experiences periodic nonlinear polarization ro tation in a birefringent optical fiber, are derived by Floquet analysi s. The predictions of the linearized analysis are confirmed by numeric al simulations of the coupled nonlinear Schrodinger equations.
