TL;DR
This paper investigates how wave chaos influences the spectral properties of microcavity lasers, revealing that chaotic cavities tend to lase in single mode while non-chaotic ones are multimode, due to differences in wave function overlaps.
Contribution
It demonstrates the spectral signatures of wave chaos in microcavity lasers and explains mode suppression through wave function overlap and ergodic ray dynamics.
Findings
Chaotic microcavity lasers operate in single mode.
Non-chaotic microcavity lasers operate in multimode.
Wave chaos affects spectral characteristics and mode selection.
Abstract
We report the spectral characteristics of fully chaotic and non-chaotic microcavity lasers under continuous-wave operating conditions. It is found that fully chaotic microcavity lasers operate in single mode, whereas non-chaotic microcavity lasers operate in multimode. The suppression of multimode lasing for fully chaotic microcavity lasers is explained by large spatial overlaps of the resonance wave functions that spread throughout the two-dimensional cavity due to the ergodicity of chaotic ray orbits.
