Kerr Nonlinear Instability: Classical and Quantum Optical Theories

An important aspect of third-order optical nonlinearity is the intensity-dependent refractive index, where the intensity of the light itself affects the refractive index. This nonlinear effect is known as Kerr nonlinearity. In this work, a theory of amplification based on Kerr nonlinearity is develo...
