Review text

The destabilization process of the static petal pattern by measuring the spatial power spectrum and the autocorrelation functions in time is investigated. When a spatial rotation \(\frac\pi6\) is imposed on the feedback, the six-fold static petal pattern appears. By analyzing the time correlation for specific modes, one identified the most relevant modes able to trigger the bifurcation towards a chaotic behavior. The fluctuations of the petal pattern are analyzed by adopting the Karhunen-Loeve (KL) decomposition -- which is equivalent to the singular value decomposition and principal component analysis, expands a sequence of patterns into mutually uncorrelated sequences of patterns. In Section 2 is described the structure of the liquid crystal light value (LcLv) and the experimental setup. In Section 3 the power spectrum and the correlation functions are defined and then KL decomposition is introduced. In Section 4 experimental results are presented and the characteristic features of the fluctuations are discussed. The results of the paper are summarized in the last section.
