Abstract
We report on the experimental study of noise-induced oscillations in the photosensitive Ru(bpy)3(2+)-catalyzed Belousov-Zhabotinsky reaction in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). In the absence of deterministic oscillations and any external periodic forcing, oscillations appear when the system is perturbed by stochastic fluctuations in light irradiation with sufficiently high amplitude in the vicinity of the bifurcation point. The frequency distribution of the noise-induced oscillations is strongly affected by noise correlation. There is a shift of the noise-induced oscillation frequency toward higher frequencies for an intermediate range of the noise correlation exponent, indicating the occurrence of coherence resonance. Our findings indicate that, in principle, noise correlation can be used to direct chemical reactions toward certain behavior.
