Abstract
Inhomogeneously polarized optical waves form a class of nonlinear vector wave propagation that has not been widely studied in the literature. We find a modulation instability only when the wave has nonzero ellipticity in a medium where the Kerr nonlinearity possesses opposite handness. Under the modulation instability the wave develops an azimuthally periodic shape with two or four peaks.
