Abstract
We theoretically explore the eigenstates of a coupled p:q commensurate harmonic oscillator with SU(2) coupling interactions under the canonical transformation. The spatial patterns of the high-order eigenstates are found to be markedly localized on Lissajous figures from single to multiple periodic orbits. Controlling the pumping size in large-Fresnel-number degenerate cavities, we have experimentally observed the laser transverse modes that display the wave patterns to be analogous to the derived eigenstates.
