Abstract
We systematically investigate the evolution of resonant modes in a rolled-up microcavity as the overlap length between structural notches increases, which presents a modulation behavior for high factors. The resonant modes in the rolled-up microcavity display a deterministic mode chirality, which is well correlated to the factor. We derive a two-mode non-Hermitian Hamiltonian to clarify these unusual findings. It reveals that strong resonant interactions of scattered waves between the structural notches are responsible for the high mode chirality (thus high factor) and its modulation behavior in rolled-up microcavities.
