Abstract

We investigate experimentally and numerically resonant whispering gallery modes of billiard-type optical resonators with rational caustics. Measurements observe distinct families and asymmetric emission; simulations highlight novel inner higher-periodic orbits for microcavity laser and CQED applications.
