Abstract
Spontaneous transverse pattern formation in nonlinear optical feedback systems is a subject of rapidly growing interest. Especially, the scheme of a Kerr-medium with a single feedback mirror proposed by Firth et al. [1] has been proved to be a very fertile concept for studies of optical pattern formation because it uncovers the fundamental role of the coupling between diffraction and the nonlinearity of the medium.
