  • Abstract
    This work characterizes the process of cracking of optical patterns by studying the evolution of the homogeneous islands for different values of the parameters, the initial wave-vector and the amplitude of an additive noise. In particular, an initial hexagonal structure is considered with wave-vector smaller than the critical wave-vector of the incoming modulational instability.
