Abstract: We present theoretical and experimental evidence of pattern forming instabilities induced by the nonlocal interaction of the light signal with itself, in an optical system formed by a liquid-crystal light valve with feedback. For a defocusing medium, the model predicts a reduced instability threshold for pattern formation as a result of nonlocality. The conditions for the onset of drifting mode instability are analytically derived. The experimental results quantitatively confirm the predictions of the model.
