Abstract

This paper investigates the formation of tunable modulation instability windows in metamaterials. We consider the influence of third-order dispersion, fourth-order dispersion, cubic nonlinearity, quintic nonlinearity, detuning parameter, self-steepening and higher-order nonlinear dispersions on the gain spectrum in addition to the basic requirement to observe modulation instability such as group velocity dispersion and self-phase modulation. As the metamaterials provide engineering freedom, all the material parameters are tunable, which leads to tunable modulation instability gain spectrum formation. This tunable gain spectrum provides additional ways to form solitons and ultrashort pulses with desired parameters.
