  Easily accessible through tabletop experiments based on laser propagation
inside nonlinear optical media, Paraxial Fluids of Light are emerging as
promising platforms for the simulation and exploration of quantum-like
phenomena. In particular, the analogy builds on a formal equivalence between
the governing model for a Bose-Einstein Condensate under the mean-field
approximation and the model of laser propagation under the paraxial
approximation. Yet, the fact that the role of time is played by the propagation
distance in the optical analogue system may impose strong bounds on the range
of accessible phenomena due to the limited length of the nonlinear medium. In
this manuscript, we present a novel experimental approach to solve this
limitation in the form of an optical feedback loop, which consists of the
reconstruction of the optical states at the end of the system followed by their
subsequent re-injection exploiting wavefront shaping techniques. The results
enclosed demonstrate the potential of this approach to access unprecedented
dynamics, paving for the observation of novel phenomena in these systems.
