the growth of small periodic modulations on an intense continuous wave in a nonlinear dispersive medium, breaking it into pulse trains.

In optics, modulation instability refers to the growth of small periodic modulations on an intense continuous wave in a nonlinear dispersive medium, breaking it into pulse trains. This meaning comes from Tai (1986) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
