A major objective in photonics is to tailor the emission properties of microcavities which is usually achieved with specific cavity shapes. Yet, the dynamical change of the emission properties during operation would often be advantageous. The implementation of such a method is still a challenging issue. We present an effective procedure for the dynamical control of the emission lobes which relies on the selection of a specific coherent superposition of degenerate modes belonging to different symmetry classes. It is generally applicable to systems exhibiting pairs of degenerate modes. We explored it experimentally and analytically with organic square microlasers, which emit narrow lobes parallel to their sidewalls. By means of the pump polarization, emission lobes are switched on and off selectively with an extinction ratio better 1/50.
