Abstract
We report the first experimental observation of pattern-formation in a nonlinear cavity for which the circulating light is both spatially and temporally incoherent. The pattern-formation process is associated with two consecutive thresholds: one when self-focusing overcomes diffraction and the other when feedback overcomes losses.
