contents Extensions of the parametric nonlinear Schrödinger equations (PNLS) for phase-sensitive optical resonance are developed that preserve the curve lengthening bifurcation seen in the original system. This bifurcation occurs in sharp interface reductions when the motion of the interface transitions from curvature-driven flow (curve shortening) to motion against curvature regularized by higher order Willmore effects (curve lengthening). We construct a specific class of down-phase self-interaction operators via a spectral transform of the down-up operator. While in the bifurcation regime, the corresponding modally filtered nonlinear Schrödinger systems preserve the linear stability of the front, admit the sign flip in the linear term in the normal velocity while preserving the proper sign of the Willmore terms.
