Abstract
In an article by Dubertrand et al. [Phys. Rev. A 77, 013804 (2008)] the perturbation theory for slightly deformed optical microcavities with a mirror-reflection symmetry was developed. However, in real experiments such a mirror-reflection symmetry is often not present either intended or unintended via production tolerances. In this paper we therefore extended the perturbation theory to asymmetric boundary deformations. Consequently, we are able to describe interesting non-Hermitian phenomena like copropagation of optical modes in the (counter-)clockwise direction inside the cavity. The derived analytic formulas are demonstrated at two generic boundary shapes, the spiral and the double-notched circle where a good agreement to the numerical boundary element method is observed.
