Abstract
Chapter 8, on self-organized pattern formation in single-feedback systems, describes how the complexity of the material-light interaction is enhanced by allowing the system to feed the beam back into the nonlinear material. A single-mirror feedback scheme with a photorefractive nonlinearity constitutes an excellent model system for studying pattern formation effects. An extensive description of the main properties of the free-running system is the topic of this chapter.
