Observation of Scarred Modes in Asymmetrically Deformed Microcylinder Lasers
Abstract
We report observation of lasing in the scarred modes in an asymmetrically deformed microcavity made of liquid jet. The observed scarred modes correspond to morphology-dependent resonance of radial mode order 3 with their Q values in the range of 106. Emission directionality is also observed, corresponding to a hexagonal unstable periodic orbit.
