We study theoretically the mechanisms of square wave formation in an injected vertically emitting micro-cavity, containing a nonlinear Kerr medium and subjected to strong time-delayed optical feedback. We show that for large delays, square wave solutions of the time-delayed system can be treated as relative homoclinic solutions of an advanced argument equation. This allows the use of classical homoclinic bifurcation theory to study different types of square wave solutions. In particular, we unveil the mechanisms behind the collapsed snaking scenario of square waves and explain the formation of complex-shaped multistable square wave solutions through a Bykov T-point. Finally, we relate the position of the T-point to the position of the Maxwell point in the original time-delayed system.
