title: Optical self-organization in bulk and multiquantum well GaAlAs microresonators.
abstract: We have observed optical patterns in GaAs/GaAlAs vertical-cavity microresonators. Rolls, rhombs, or hexagons were obtained depending on the wavelength detuning. We show that cavity thickness fluctuations contribute to pattern selection.
