Abstract:
Optical pattern formation was discussed. A single laser beam propagating without feedback through atomic sodium vapor develops a stable, regular, transverse structure was used. It was found that a three-filament near-field pattern leading to a honeycomb far-field pattern occurs at intensities near the saturation intensity.
