Lasing on scar modes in fully chaotic microcavities.

Scar wave functions in a fully chaotic cavity are obtained numerically by an extended Fox-Li method. Lasing on the scar modes are observed in a semiconductor microcavity with a selective excitation of different scars controlled by corresponding shape of electrodes for current injection.
