Abstract
The nonlinear analysis of the model equation for the single-feedback-m irror device with rubidium atoms predicts that a stable quasipattern o f eightfold orientational order occurs in the profile of the output li ght beam. This pattern is numerically reproduced for different transve rse shapes, either rhombohedric or circular, of the input beam.
