Title: Two dimensional unstable scar statistics.

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/899719· OSTI ID:899719

This report examines the localization of time harmonic high frequency modal fields in two dimensional cavities along periodic paths between opposing sides of the cavity. The cases where these orbits lead to unstable localized modes are known as scars. This paper examines the enhancements for these unstable orbits when the opposing mirrors are both convex and concave. In the latter case the construction includes the treatment of interior foci.
