Abstract: By increasing the aspect ratio of an optical cavity with a photorefractive crystal, we observe the transition from a boundary-controlled regime, where the size of the transverse patterns scales with the aspect ratio, to a bulk-controlled regime where the pattern size is independent of the aspect ratio. In this new regime, the size corresponds to an intrinsic correlation length imposed by diffusion processes within the material. Such a new behavior is explained by the wave-number dependence of the gain within the instability region. Model equations provide good agreement with the two asymptotic cases of small aspect ratio (diffraction limited regime) and large aspect ratio (diffusion limited regime).
