“…Some other mirrorless schemes, where optical pattern formation has been predicted, are based on the interaction of two counterpropagating pumping waves in a nonlinear medium. It has been shown that the waves that appear through nonlinear mixing processes have their lowest threshold at certain angles with respect to the pumping waves, and may result in a wide variety of patterns, either extended, such as rolls or hexagons [197][198][199][200][201][202][203][204] (Fig. 1.6), or localized [205].…”

This book is devoted to the formation and dynamics of localized structures (vortices, solitons) and of extended patterns (stripes, hexagons, tilted waves) in nonlinear optical resonators such as lasers, optical parametric oscillators, and photorefractive oscillators. Theoretical analysis is performed by deriving order parameter equations, and also through numerical integration of microscopic models of the systems under investigation. Experimental observations, and possible technological implementations of transverse optical patterns are also discussed. A comparison with patterns found in other nonlinear systems, i.e. chemical, biological, and hydrodynamical systems, is given.

“…These include counterpropagating waves interacting with a slice of Kerr material in a cavityless configuration [2], systems with a single feedback mirror [3], and planar resonators filled with a self-focusing Kerr medium [4], or with a non-saturable absorber [5]. Experimental observations of this kind of optical pattern include counterpropagating beams in sodium [6], and a variety of systems with single feedback (see e.g. [7]).…”

We consider the hexagonal pattern forming in the cross-section of an optical beam produced by a Kerr cavity, and we study the quantum correlations characterizing this structure. By using arguments related to the symmetry broken by the pattern formation, we identify a complete scenario of six-mode entanglement. Five independent phase quadratures combinations, connecting the hexagonal modes, are shown to exhibit sub-shot-noise fluctuations. By means of a non-linear quantum calculation technique, quantum correlations among the mode photon numbers are demonstrated and calculated. 42.50.Lc, 42.50.Ne, 42.65.Jx

“…Symmetry breaking instabilities are ubiquitous in chemistry, fluid dynamics, or biology [3]. In optical systems, optical nonlinearities have been shown to lead to self-organization in the plane transverse to the light propagation, in a variety of media and geometrical configurations [4][5][6][7][8].…”
