We apply ray-optical methods to dielectric optical microcavities in the shape of triangles made of low refractive index material. We find ray trajectories that maximize the intensity inside the cavity to determine the far-field emission…
We analyse the dynamics of a one-dimensional vertical Fabry-P\'erot cavity, where the upper mirror levitates due to intra-cavity radiation pressure force. A perturbative approach is used based around separation of timescales, which allows…
We analyze the behaviour of a coherent field driving a single mode optical cavity with one perfectly reflecting moving mirror and a partially reflecting fixed mirror, and show that this system's output exhibits optical bistability due to…
We show the possibility of noiseless amplification of an optical image in cavities containing a parametric oscillator. We consider a confocal ring cavity with plane mirrors and compare with the case of planar cavity. In the latter case the…
It is shown that, even when the eigenmodes of an optical cavity are wave-chaotic, the frequency splitting due to the rotation of the cavity occurs and the frequency difference is proportional to the angular velocity although the splitting…
Beam splitters are indispensable elements in optical and photonic systems, and are therefore employed in both classical and quantum technologies. Depending on the intended application, these devices can divide incident light according to…
Experimental analysis of cavitation bubble dynamics typically uses optical imaging. However, images are often severely affected by distortions and shadows due to refraction and total reflection at the liquid--gas interface. Here it is shown…
Hyperchaos is a qualitatively stronger form of chaos, in which several degrees of freedom contribute simultaneously to exponential divergence of small changes. A hyperchaotic dynamical system is therefore even more unpredictable than a…

Multi-normal-mode splitting peaks are experimentally observed in a system with Doppler-broadened two-level atoms inside a relatively long optical cavity. In this system, the atoms-cavity interaction can reach the ``superstrong coupling"…

We consider a quantum well embedded in a zero-dimensional microcavity with a sub-wavelength grated mirror, where the x-linearly polarized exciton mode is strongly coupled to the cavity photon, while y-polarized excitons remain in the weak…
We experimentally study forced and self oscillations of an optomechanical cavity which is formed between a fiber Bragg grating that serves as a static mirror and between a freely suspended metallic mechanical resonator that serves as a…
The phenomenon of particle creation within an almost resonantly vibrating cavity with losses is investigated for the example of a massless scalar field at finite temperature. A leaky cavity is designed via the insertion of a dispersive…
We investigate the dynamics of an optomechanical system where a cavity with a movable mirror involves a degenerate optical parametric amplifier and is driven by a periodically modulated laser field. Our results show that the cooperation…
We consider the dynamics of a movable mirror (cantilever) of a cavity coupled through radiation pressure to the light scattered from ultracold atoms in an optical lattice. Scattering from different atomic quantum states creates different…
We use a spatially resolved cavity ring-down technique to show that the 2D eigenmode of an unstable optical cavity has a fractal pattern, i.e. it looks the same at different length scales. In agreement with theory, we find that this pattern…
We propose a marginally stable optical resonator suitable for atom interferometry. The resonator geometry is based on two flat mirrors at the focal planes of a lens that produces the large beam waist required to coherently manipulate cold…
We present a composite optical cavity made of standard laser mirrors; the cavity consists of a suitable combination of stable and unstable cavities. In spite of its very open nature the composite cavity shows ray chaos, which may be either…
