Abstract

Dielectric spheres and cylinders can support high-Q modes due to internal reflection of the light. However, small deviations of the shape of these resonators away from symmetry lead to the onset of chaotic ray dynamics and the resulting suppression of the mode lifetimes. We demonstrate, that in such conditions even the regular modes are strongly affected by small deformations, due to the phenomenon of chaos-assisted tunneling, and develop a quantitative theory of this effect.
