The effects of periodic excitation on the evolution of a turbulent jet were studied experimentally. A short, wide-angle diffuser was attached to the jet exit, and excitation was introduced at the junction between the jet exit and the diffuser inlet. The introduction of high-amplitude periodic excitation at the jet exit enhances the mixing and promotes attachment of the jet shear layer to the diffuser wall. Vectoring is achieved by applying the excitation over a fraction of the circumference of the circular jet, enhancing its spreading rate on the excited side and its tendency to reattach to that side. Static-deflection studies demonstrate that the presence of the wide-angle diffuser increases the effectiveness of the added periodic momentum caused by a favorable interaction between the excitation, the jet shear layer, and the diffuser wall
