Resonance Patterns in a Stadium-shaped Microcavity
Abstract
We investigate resonance patterns in a stadium-shaped microcavity around $n_ck R \simeq 10$, where $n_c$ is the refractive index, $k$ the vacuum wavenumber, and $R$ the radius of the circular part of the cavity. We find that the patterns of high $Q$ resonances can be classified, even though the classical dynamics of the stadium system is chaotic. The patterns of the high $Q$ resonances are consistent with the ray dynamical consideration, and appears as the stationary lasing modes with low pumping rate in the nonlinear dynamical model. All resonance patterns are presented in a finite range of $kR$.
