Abstract
In a photorefractive liquid crystal light valve, acting as a Kerr-like nonlinear optical medium, we show the appearance of optical patterns induced by a single mirror feedback. The spatial wavelength of the patterns scales with the distance between the mirror and the valve and the contrast of the patterns decreases for decreasing this distance. We use these properties to setup a new optical scheme for the measurement of the spatial resolution of the nonlinear device.
