A modified fluctuation-dissipation theorem for a nonequilibrium steady state is experimentally checked by studying the position fluctuations of a colloidal particlewhose motion is confined in a toroidal optical trap. The nonequilibrium steady state is generated by means of a rotating laser beam which exerts on the particle a sinusoidal conservative force plus a constant nonconservative one. The modified fluctuation-dissipation theorem is perfectly verified by the experimental data. It can be interpreted as an equilibriumlike fluctuation-dissipation relation in the Lagrangian frame of the mean local velocity of the particle.
