Elliptical potentials give rise to a set of eigenmodes called Ince-Gaussian modes. Contrary to hemispherical potentials, the geometric shape leads to a mode splitting of the otherwise degenerate fundamental mode. Theoretically, this behaviour can be exploited to realize interesting topological phenomena like non-reciprocal transport, the non-hermitian skin-effect or engineer artificial gauge fields. On the way to an experimental implementation of such systems, the singular building blocks of these photonic potentials - single and coupled elliptical potentials - have to be experimentally studied.

Here we present an investigation of the mode splitting and polarisation in single elliptical microcavities, as well as an examination of the coupling between differently angled ellipses.
