in Nonlinear Dynamics in Optical Systems, Optical Society of America Proc., Eds. N.B. Abraham, E. Garmire and P.Mandel, 7, 171-175 (1991).

The effect of noise in a pattern forming instability with a continuously degenerate stationary solution is analyzed. Symmetry restoring and transient dynamics are discussed.
