Title: Time Harmonic Two-Dimensional Cavity Scar Statistics: Convex Mirrors and Bowtie

Abstract

Here, this article 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 article examines the enhancements for these unstable orbits when the opposing mirrors are convex, constructing the high-frequency field in the scar region using elliptic cylinder coordinates in combination with a random reflection phase from the outer chaotic region. Finally, the enhancements when the cavity is symmetric as well as asymmetric about the orbit are examined.
