Abstract
Based on very accurate measurements performed on a superconducting mic rowave resonator shaped like a desymmetrized three-dimensional Sinai b illiard, we investigate for the first time spectral properties of the vectorial Helmholtz, i.e., nonquantum wave equation for a classically totally chaotic and theoretically precisely studied system. We are the reby able to generalize some aspects of quantum chaos and present some results which are consequences of the polarization features of the el ectromagnetic waves.
