Abstract
The resonances of optical micro-resonators can be related to the periodic orbits of the corresponding classical billiard via a semiclassical trace formula [1]. This formula connects the resonance frequencies with the periodic orbits existing in the corresponding billiard and their properties like length, refractive losses and stability. The trace formula thus allows to compute the resonance frequencies approximately using only quantities from classical mechanics which can often be obtained with relative ease.
