Resonances near the classical separatrix of a weakly deformed circular microcavity.
We study localized resonance patterns of a weakly deformed circular dielectric microcavity. The dominant pattern among them is detected when the classical motion of the light is on the separatrix of the effective potential. In this case, the topological shape of the pattern is automatically determined by the refractive index of the microcavity n. Also, the pattern can be interpreted as a linear combination of nearly degenerate eigenstates in the circular dielectric microcavity. Applying this analysis to a spiral-shaped microcavity, we generate quasiscarred patterns for n=2 and n=3.
