Abstract
A bistable optical device, made of an extended system as a liquid crys tal light valve (LCLV) plus a global feedback, displays a time depende nt behavior whereby the fields corresponding to the two stable states fill different regions of the available space, and the boundary betwee n the two regions moves periodically with a front velocity depending o n the properties of the medium as well as on the feedback strength.
