Abstract:
We observed resonance effects on the transmission of a pump beam in a chaotic microcavity in an optimal free-space optical-pumping configuration. The far-field pattern of cavity transmission was significantly modified when the pump laser was resonant with a scar mode. From the difference between the non-resonant and on-resonance transmission patterns, we obtained the efficiency of the pump coupling into the scar mode to be as high as 45%, which is consistent with the recent excitation spectroscopy results of Yang et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 243601 (2010)].
