Abstract

Nonlinear optical systems using either a Kerr slice or liquid crystal light valve and having field rotation in the 2D optical feedback loop are analyzed. A Neumann series approach is used to study pattern formation. We show that when there is strong diffraction in the optical feedback loop polygon patterns (‘Akhseals’) appear. Interactions between Akhseals occur in the form of Winner Takes All (WTA) dynamics. Results of the numerical simulations are presented
