Modified spontaneous emission from a two-dimensional photonic crystal
Yong Zeng, Xiaoshuang Chen, Wei Lü
Decay kinetic properties of a two-level atom near the band edges of a two-dimensional photonic crystal are studied based on the Green's function expression for the evolution operator. Our calculations show that the decay kinetics can be controlled by changing the atomic parameters. We also find that there is a quite wide lifetime distribution in the spontaneous emission process.
