Physical Review Letters – 15 October 2004
Volume 93, Issue 16

Calculated field intensity plot of a "quasiscarred" resonance in a spiral-shaped dielectric microcavity. Unlike the scarred resonances which occur in many different chaotic systems, here there is no unstable periodic orbit underlying the pattern of localization.
