Chaotic Light: a Theory of Asymmetric Resonant Cavities
Spherical and cylindrical dielectric cavities support high Q whispering gallery modes due to total internal reflection of the trapped light. When such a cavity is deformed smoothly the ray dynamics of these modes becomes chaotic in a manner determined by the KAM theory of classical hamiltonian dynamics. The universal properties of the ray dynamics predicted by KAM theory allow a general underst...

متن کاملAsymmetric Resonant Optical Cavities
A new and useful type of optical resonator has been proposed based on the principles of chaos [1]. The asymmetric resonant cavity (ARC) is an extension of the concept of spherical or cylindrical dielectric resonators which have high-Q ”whispering gallery” (WG) modes trapped by total internal reflection [2]. In the ARC such a cylinder or sphere is deformed substantially but in a smooth and conve...
متن کاملDirectional emission from asymmetric resonant cavities.
Asymmetric resonant cavities with highly noncircular but convex cross sections are predicted theoretically to have high-Q whispering gallery modes with highly anisotropic emission. We develop a ray dynamics model for the emission pattern and present numerical and experimental confirmation of the theory.
متن کاملWhispering gallery modes inside asymmetric resonant cavities.
Two dimensional resonators with a smooth strictly convex boundary are known to possess a whispering gallery region supporting modes concentrated near the boundary. A new class of asymmetric resonant cavities is introduced, where a whispering gallery-like region is found deep inside the resonator. The construction of such resonators is a novel application of the geometric control methods. The re...
