The escape of particles in an open square-shaped cavity has been examined. We consider a family of trajectories launched from the left bottom lead of the square cavity and escaped from the right boundary. For each escaping trajectories, we record the propagation time and the detector position. We find that the escape time graph exhibits a regular sawtooth structure. For a set of detector points, we search for the classical trajectories from the source point to the detector points. Then we use semiclassical theory to construct the wave function at different given points. The calculation results suggest that the escape probability density depends on the detector position and the momentum of the particle sensitively. The Fourier transform of the semiclassical wave function gives the path length spectrum. Each peak in the path length spectrum corresponds to the length of one escape trajectory of the particle. We hope that our results will be useful in understanding the escape and transport process of particles inside a microcavity.
