Abstract

Description

We describe a practical procedure for extracting the spatial structure and the growth rates of slow eigenmodes of a spatially extended system, using a unique experimental capability both to impose and to perturb desired initial states. The procedure is used to construct experimentally the spectrum of linear modes near the secondary instability boundary in Rayleigh-Bénard convection. This technique suggests an approach to experimental characterization of more complex dynamical states such as periodic orbits or spatiotemporal chaos.
