In a previous work by the authors (Phys. Rev. Research 2, 012072(R) (2020)) a novel concept of light confinement in a microcavity was introduced which is based on successive perfect transmissions at Brewster's angle. Hence, a new class of open billiards was designed with star-shaped microcavities where rays propagate on orbits that leave and re-enter the cavity. In this article, we investigate the ray-wave correspondence in microstar cavities. An unintuitive difference between clockwise and counterclockwise propagation is revealed which is traced back to nonlinear resonance chains in phase space.

Mesoscopic billiard systems for electrons and light, realized as quantum dots or optical microcavities, have enriched the fields of quantum chaos and nonlinear dynamics not only by enlarging the class of model systems, but also by providing access to their experimental realization. Here, we add yet another system class, two-dimensional billiards with anisotropies. One example is the anisotropic dispersion relation relevant in bilayer graphene known as trigonal warping, and another is the birefringent closed optical disk cavity.

Optical microcavity billiards are a paradigm of a mesoscopic model system for quantum chaos. We demonstrate the action and origin of ray-wave correspondence in real and phase space using far-field emission characteristics and Husimi functions. Whereas universality induced by the invariant-measure dominated far-field emission is known to be a feature shaping the properties of many lasing optical microcavities, the situation changes in the presence of sources that we discuss here.

The analysis reveals that the birefringent effect leads to numerous frequency degeneracies at the cavity lengths near an ideal degenerate cavity. By using a diode-pumped Nd:GdVO laser, the emergence of Lissajous structured modes relevant to frequency degeneracies is precisely quantified by comparing experimental results with numerical analyses.

Spectral and grating-based differential phase-contrast (DPC) x-ray imaging are two emerging technologies that offer additional information compared with conventional attenuation-based x-ray imaging. In the case of spectral imaging, energy-resolved measurements allow the generation of material-specific images by exploiting differences in the energy-dependent attenuation. DPC imaging uses the phase shift that an x-ray wave exhibits when traversing an object as contrast generation mechanism.
