Phys. Rev. Lett. 97, 253901 (2006) [4 pages]Formation of Long-Lived, Scarlike Modes near Avoided Resonance Crossings in Optical MicrocavitiesReceived 21 June 2006; revised 3 November 2006; published 19 December 2006 We study the formation of long-lived states near avoided resonance crossings in open systems. For three different optical microcavities (rectangle, ellipse, and semistadium) we provide numerical evidence that these states are localized along periodic rays, resembling scarred states in closed systems. Our results shed light on the morphology of long-lived states in open mesoscopic systems. © 2006 The American Physical Society URL:
