  • Abstract
    We focus our attention on a passive system consisting of a thin Kerr cell in an optical feedback configuration. As the intensity of an impinging plane wave is increased, the transverse pattern on the cell entrance bifurcates from a uniform front to patterns of different symmetries depending on the type of feedback
