The morphology dependent resonances (MDR) are of growing interest due to their extremely high quality factor. The quality factor, or Q factor, is a dimensionless parameter that indicates the energy loss relative to the stored energy within a resonant element. The higher the Q, the lower the rate of energy loss and as a result the slower the oscillations will die out. An overview about the current state of research on the MDR can be found in [1]. The numerical simulation of these phenomena is not straightforward, even in the case of symmetry allowing the separation of variables in the modeling equations. Below, we report on a progress made in the numerical simulation of the so called ‘whispering gallery’ modes occurring inside a prolate spheroid. The approach presented here is also applicable for any other separable geometry.

Abstract
The morphology dependent resonances (MDR) are of growing interest due to their extremely high quality factor. The quality factor, or Q factor, is a dimensionless parameter that indicates the energy loss relative to the stored energy within a resonant element. The higher the Q, the lower the rate of energy loss and as a result the slower the oscillations will die out. An overview about the current state of research on the MDR can be found in [1]. The numerical simulation of these phenomena is not straightforward, even in the case of symmetry allowing the separation of variables in the modeling equations. Below, we report on a progress made in the numerical simulation of the so called ‘whispering gallery’ modes occurring inside a prolate spheroid.
