Abstract

The dynamical evolution of the modulational instability is studied in a coherently driven passive optical fiber cavity. We show that periodic pattern generated close to the threshold experience convective and absolute Eckhaus instabilities. In addition to this splitting of the secondary instabilities into convective and absolute instabilities we have observed that the onset of the absolute regime is accompanied by the emergence of spatio-temporal chaos.
