Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 063901 (2003) [4 pages]Stable Oscillations of a Spatially Chaotic Wave Function in a Microstadium LaserReceived 14 June 2002; published 14 February 2003 Laser action on a single spatially chaotic wave function is obtained as a final stable state in a nonlinear dynamical model of a stadium shaped resonant cavity with an active medium. The stable single-mode lasing state corresponds to a particular metastable resonance of the cavity which wins a competition among multiple modes with positive net linear gain and has a distinct lasing threshold. © 2003 The American Physical Society URL:
