✦ Synopsis

We study one-dimensional transverse modulational
instability in a non local medium excited by a spatially
incoherent source. Employing undoped nematic liquid crystals in a
planar pre-tilted configuration, we investigate the role of the
spectral broadening induced by incoherence in conjunction with
spatially non local molecular reorientation. The phenomenon is
modeled using the Wigner transform.

We find theoretically that the optical modulation instability can spontaneously happen in the noninstantaneous defocusing medium when there is a coherent feedback. It requires both above-threshold gain and phase matching for the instability to happen, very similar to the oscillation condition of a l

Using the standard reductive perturbation technique, a nonlinear Schr€ o odinger equation is derived to study the modulational instability of finite amplitude ion-acoustic waves (IAW) in an unmagnetized plasma consisting of warm adiabatic ions and non-thermal electrons. It is found that the presence
