Abstract

We report non invasive measurements of the complex field of elastic modes of a silicon wafer with chaotic shape. The amplitude and phase spatial distribution of the modes are directly obtained by Fourier transform of time measurements. We investigate the crossover of the wavefunction from real to complex, when absorption is progressively increased on one edge of the wafer. The complexity factor, which characterizes the degree to which a wavefunction is complex-valued, is measured for non-overlapping modes and is found to be proportional to the non-homogeneous contribution to the line broadening of the mode.
