Mode frequency shifts and Q-factor changes in 2D microflower cavity and its deformed cavity are analyzed. The effective mode-splitting of double-degenerate WG modes is obtained and the Q-factor changes of matched and mismatched modes are discussed for the microflower cavity. The Q-factor stability of the splitted WGH(8,1) modes due to two types of local deformations is studied, showing that the local deformations can badly spoil the mode Q-factor if the deformations are not controlled properly. The output directionality of the splitted WGH(8,1) modes due to the local deformations also is presented, and a basically unidirectional light output of OO mode under local deformation DA (deformation happens at one “valley” of the microflower cavity) is obtained.
