Resonance widths in open microwave cavities studied by harmonic inversion — •Ulrich Kuhl1, Ruven Höhmann1, Jörg Main2, and Hans-Jürgen Stöckmann1 — 1Fachbereich Physik, Philipps-Universität Marburg, Renthof 5, — 2Institut für Theoretische Physik und Synergetik, Universität Stuttgart,
From the measurement of a reflection spectrum of an open microwave cavity the poles of the scattering matrix in the complex plane have been determined [1]. The resonances have been extracted by means of the harmonic inversion method [2]. By this it became possible to resolve the resonances in a regime where the line widths exceed the mean level spacing up to a factor of 10, a value inaccessible in experiments up to now. The obtained experimental distributions of line widths were found to be in good agreement with predictions from random matrix theory [3].
