Abstract
Localized structures in lasers and in optical cavities containing nonlinear optical materials are being intensively studied [1-4] because of two main reasons. On the one hand complex spatio-temporal dynamics is often dominated by these particle-like objects. Secondly, the ability to control, create and erase these objects opens the way to new technological developments, including parallel information processing.
