At high enough input power in stacks of Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 intrinsic Josephson junctions a hot spot (a region heated to above the superconducting transition temperature) coexists with regions being still in the superconducting state. In the cold regions cavity resonances can occur, synchronizing the ac Josephson currents and giving rise to strong and stable coherent terahertz (THz) emission. We investigate the interplay of hot spots and standing electromagnetic waves by low-temperature scanning laser microscopy and THz emission measurements, using stacks of various geometries. Standing electromagnetic wave patterns and THz emission are observed for a disk-shaped sample. The growth of a hot spot with increasing input power is monitored by small detector junctions surrounding a large rectangular mesa. For two rectangular mesas equipped with two current injectors and one arrow-shaped structure we show that the standing wave can be turned on and off in various regions of the stack structure, depending on the hot-spot position. The results support the picture of the hot spot acting as a reflective termination of the cavity, formed by the cold part of the mesa.
