Abstract

Nonlinear optical systems using a Kerr slice and two-dimensional feedback are analyzed. A Neumann-series approach is used to study pattern formation. We show that interactions between spatial modes (rolls) occur in the form of ‘‘winner-takes-all’’ dynamics and cause formation of hexagon patterns.
