Modulation instability in nonlinear monomode optical fibers is studied in letail. The condition of producing modulation instability and the maximum modulational growth rate as well as other formulas about modulation instability are presented. We obtain the conclusion that modulation instability can be produced not only in the region of anormalous dispersion but also in the region of normal dispersion. We determined the appropriate range of fiber length for maintaining the modulational growth.
