Cyclic selfreorganization of the optical structures formed by the nonlinear interferometer with two-dimensional feedback

The possibility of the new type of spatial-temporal selforganization, formed by optical system, containing Kerr non-linear media (having diffusion and relaxation) and provided with two-dimensional feedback [1], is predicted as the result of mathematical modeling. The authors suggest to name the selforganization under which the sequence of different dynamic spatial-temporal patterns is steadily reproduced as “selfreorganization” and to name the regime under which the sequence of the patterns repeats periodically as “cyclical selfreorganization”. The dependence of the latter on the system parameters is predicted and the conditions are described.
