Spontaneous Emission in Cavities: How Much More Classical Can You Get? 1
نویسنده
چکیده
Cavity-induced changes in atomic spontaneous emission rates are often interpreted in terms of quantum electrodynamical zero-point field fluetuations. A completely elassical method o f computing this effect in terms of the unquantized normal mode structure of the cavity is presented here, Upon applying the result to a classical dipole radiating between parallel mirrors, we obtain the same cavity correction as that for atomic spontaneous emission in such a cavity. The theory is' then compared with a recent experiment in the radio-frequency domain.

Spontaneous Emission Spectrum from a Driven Three-Level Atom in a Double-Band Photonic Crystal
Abstract The spontaneous emission spectrum from a driven three-level atom placed inside a double-band photonic crystal has been investigated. We use the model which assumes the upper levels of the atomic transition are coupled via a classical driving field. The transition from one of the upper levels to lower level couples to the modes of the modified reservoir, and the transition from the oth...

متن کاملSpontaneous decay rates in one-dimensional waveguides
It is well-known that the spontaneous decay rates of emitting sources such as atoms or quantum wells can be largely modified in optical micro-cavities. − 4 Controlled spontaneous-emission plays a key role in a new generation of micro and nano-optical devices. Highperformance micro-cavity lasers, for instance, have been already experimentally demonstrated. 6 Spontaneous decay rates modifications...
متن کاملP35: How to Manage Anxiety
Anxiety is a mental state that is elicited in anticipation of threat or potential threat. Sensations of anxiety are a normal part of human experience, but excessive or inappropriate anxiety can become an illness. Anxiety is part of the normal human experience. We may speculate that it served human survival during evolution by enhancing preparedness and alertness. However, anxious manifestations...
متن کاملSpontaneous Emission in Microcavities with Distributed Mirrors
This paper presents an analytic approach to spontaneous emission in resonators with distributed Bragg reflectors (DBR’s). The foundation of our analysis is the hard mirror (or penetration depth) approximation, which we extend to radiation with both angular and frequency distributions. This has allowed us to derive approximate analytic expressions for the divergence angle of the spontaneous emis...
