We show that, even when the eigenmodes of an optical cavity are wave chaotic, degenerate eigenfrequencies of those modes split into different frequencies due to the rotation of the cavity. The frequency difference is proportional to the angular velocity, although the splitting eigenmodes are still wave chaotic and do not correspond to any unidirectionally rotating waves.
