We investigate the properties of waves and particles reflected by and transmitted through 2D chaotic waveguides, using the cosine billiard as a prototype. We calculate the scattering probability matrix elements ∣ Sn,m∣2, wave functions, and Husimi distributions for a set of geometrical parameters producing weak, mixed, and strong chaotic ray dynamics. Comparison of these quantities with their classical counterparts allows us, on the one hand, to understand important global properties of waveguides in terms of purely classical dynamics and, on the other, to unveil drastic differences between wave and particle behavior. Further, we compare our predictions with experimental results obtained in a microwave realization of the cosine billiard.
