Abstract
We focus on some of the main instabilities which arise in the framework of the full set of Maxwell-Bloch equations. We review some theoretical and experimental results which concern the spontaneous onset of self-oscillatory behaviour, or of stationary spatial patterns, in passive optical systems.
