Abstract
The transverse pattern of a microcavity laser was used to experimentally study the selection rules of spontaneous coherent waves in mesoscopic systems. With the theory of SU(2) coherent states, the spontaneous transverse pattern of a microcavity laser was described very well. The constraint of minimum energy uncertainty was found to play an important role in selecting the spontaneous coherent states in mesoscopic systems. Furthermore, the selection rules were confirmed to be applicable to the resonant-energy states of open square quantum dots.
