Abstract
Out of equilibrium systems under the influence of enough energy injection exhibit complex spa- tiotemporal behaviors. Based on a liquid crystal light valve experiment with translational optical feedback, we observe propagation, spatiotemporal intermittency, and defect turbulence of striped waves. A prototype model of pattern formation with translational coupling shows the same phe- nomenology. Close to the spatial instability, a local amplitude equation is derived. This amplitude equation allows us to reveal the origin and bifurcation diagram of the observed complex spatiotem- poral dynamics. Experimental observations have a quite fair agreement with theoretical findings.
