Summary:
Resonator modes in a Penrose unilluminable room are calculated using the finite-difference time-domain method. Spatially chaotic wavefunctions are obtained in the regions where the ray trajectories are confined. A chaotic wavefunction for which light spreads across the whole cavity was also derived. The existence of a widely spreading chaotic wavefunction shows that the properties of the unilluminable room derived from ray dynamical simulations do not always represent all of the resonator modes.
