Abstract
With a perturbation body technique intensity distributions of the electric field strength in a flat microwave billiard with a barrier inside up to mode numbers as large as about 700 were measured. A method for the reconstruction of the amplitudes and phases of the electric field strength from those intensity distributions has been developed. Recently predicted superscars have been identified experimentally and—using the well-known analogy between the electric field strength and the quantum mechanical wave function in a two-dimensional microwave billiard—their properties determined.
