Three Dimensional Electromagnetic High Frequency Convex Cavity Scars

Warne, Larry K.; Jorgenson, Roy E.; Coats, Rebecca S.

This report examines the localization of high frequency electromagnetic fields in general three-dimensional convex walled cavities along periodic paths between opposing sides of the cavity. The report examines the three-dimensional case where the mirrors at the end of the orbit have two different radii of curvature. The cases where these orbits lead to unstable localized modes are known as scars.
