Abstract:
In this Letter we propose an original mechanism to select scar modes through coherent gain amplification in a multimode D-shaped fiber. More precisely, we demonstrate the selective amplification of scar modes by positioning a gain region in the vicinity of the self-focal point of the shortest periodic orbit in the transverse motion.
