Abstract
By varying an intensive parameter in a nonlinear optical system with t wo-dimensional feedback the wave front displays a transition from a un iform to a patterned state, and eventually to space-time chaos. A nonl ocal interaction, introduced by means of a feedback rotation, is the s ource of the observed phenomena. The observed space-time chaotic behav ior is characterized by a rapid decay of correlation. We study the pos sibility that the system eventually evolves from space-time chaos to a turbulent regime.
