Universality in escape from a modulated potential well

We show that the rate of activated escape W from a periodically modulated potential displays scaling behavior versus modulation amplitude A. For adiabatic modulation of an optically trapped Brownian particle, measurements yield W∝ (A c - A)μ with μ= 1.5. The theory gives μ=3/2 in the adiabatic limit and predicts a crossover to μ=2 scaling as A approaches the bifurcation point where the metastable state disappears.
