  "abstract": "The rate of noise-induced escape from a metastable state of a periodically modulated overdamped system is found for an arbitrary modulation amplitude $A$. The instantaneous escape rate displays peaks that vary with the modulation from Gaussian to strongly asymmetric. The prefactor $\\nu$ in the period-averaged escape rate depends on $A$ nonmonotonically. Near the bifurcation amplitude $A_c$ it scales as $\\nu\\propto (A_c-A)^{\\zeta}$. We identify three scaling regimes, with $\\zeta = 1/4, -1$, and 1/2.",
