APS/123-QED INFLUENCE OF RANDOM BULK INHOMOGENEITIES ON QUASI-OPTICAL CAVITY RESONATOR SPECTRUM E. M. Ganapolskii, Z. E. Eremenko,∗ and Yu. V. Tarasov Institute for Radiophysics and Electronics, National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 6 12 Proscura St., 61085 Kharkov, Ukraine 0 0 We suggest the statistical spectral theory of oscillations in quasi-optical cavity resonator filled 2 with random inhomogeneities. It is shown that inhomogeneities in the resonator result in inter- mode scattering leading to the shift and broadening of spectral lines. The shift and broadening n of each line essentially depends on frequency distance to adjacent spectral lines. With increasing u the distance the influence of inhomogeneities sharply reduces. The solitary spectral lines which J have the distance to the nearest lines quite large is slightly changed due to small inhomogeneities. 8 Owing to such selective influence of inhomogeneities on the spectral lines the effective spectrum 2 rarefaction appears. Both the shift and broadening of spectral lines as well as spectrum rarefaction in quasi-optical cavity millimeter wave resonator were detected experimentally. We found out that ] inhomogeneities result in stochastization of the resonator spectrum in that m
