| Dielectric optical microcavities are important for a wide range of research areas and applications, such as ultra-low threshold lasers and single-photon sources. In the nonlinear dynamics and quantum chaos community microdisk cavities with deformed cross-sectional shape attracted considerable attention since they can be used to study the ray-wave correspondence in open systems in direct comparison to experiments. In this talk we discuss the following aspects of optical microcavities: (i) dynamical tunneling, (ii) fractal Weyl law and lifetime statistics, and (iii) the influence of the chaotic repeller on the far-field emission pattern of microcavities. |
