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.
