Enhanced spontaneous emission inside hyperbolic metamaterials.
Hyperbolic metamaterials can enhance spontaneous emission, but the radiation-matter coupling is not optimized if the light source is placed outside such media. We demonstrate a 3-fold improvement of the Purcell factor over its outer value and a significant enlargement in bandwidth by including the emitter within a Si/Ag periodic multilayer metamaterial. To extract the plasmonic modes of the str...
متن کاملRadiative Enhancement of Plasmonic Nanopatch Antennas
Efficient light manipulation at subwavelength scale is of great interest for solar energy conversion, optical sensing, and nanophotonic devices. Recently, plasmonic nanopatch antennas (PNAs), which consist of plasmonic nanoparticles and metal films with thin layers of dielectric spacers sandwiched between them, have shown promise for directing and enhancing radiation from the dipole emitters at...

I consider an exact model of atomic spontaneous dipole emission and classical dipole radiation in a finite photonic band-gap structure. The full 3D or 2D problem is reduced to a finite 1D model, and then this is solved for analytically using algebraic matrix transfer techniques. The results give insight to the electromagnetic emission process in periodic dielectrics, quantitative predictions fo...
متن کاملSpontaneous emission in the near-field of 2D photonic crystals
We show theoretically that photonic crystal membranes cause large variations in the spontaneous emission rate of dipole emitters, not only inside but also in the near-field above the membranes. Our three-dimensional finite difference time-domain calculations reveal an inhibition of more than five times and an enhancement of more than ten times for the spontaneous emission rate of emitters with ...
