Abstract :
We show that avoided resonance crossings can be used to achieve unidirectional light emission from high-quality modes and explain the scarring phenomenon in optical microcavities. Moreover, we introduce a semiconductor theory based on a many-body Hamiltonian to describe the photon statistics of quantum-dot microcavity lasers.
