Microscopic theory of dipole–dipole interaction in ensembles of impurity atoms in a Fabry–Perot cavity

A. S. Kuraptsev, Igor M. Sokolov

We develop a consistent quantum theory of the collective effects that take place when electromagnetic radiation interacts with a dense ensemble of impurity centers embedded in a transparent dielectric and placed in a Fabry–Perot cavity. We have calculated the spontaneous decay dynamics of an excited impurity atom as a specific example of applying the developed general theory. We analyze the dependence of the decay rate on the density of impurity centers and the sample sizes as well as on the characteristic level shifts of impurity atoms caused by the internal fields of the dielectric. We show that a cavity can affect significantly the pattern of collective processes, in particular, the lifetimes of collective states.

Spontaneous Emission in Dielectric Planar Microcavities

Gunnar G. Bjork, Y. Yamamoto

In this chapter, the author calculates the modification of the spontaneous emission pattems and the corresponding rate change using classical physics. To derive the spontaneous emission pattems or rates the readers must average the emission rate at each frequency over this distribution function. It is important to understand that this assumption is only valid if the emission line is homogeneously broadened (albeit not necessarily at its natural linewidth limit due to the radiative decay). One more thing needs to be pointed out before the readers move on to a more exact calculation of the spontaneous emission pattern and the emission rate of a dielectric cavity. In the ideal mirror the reflection takes place at a well-defined plane. Integration of the emission over all solid angles and all wavelengths gives us information about the total spontaneous emission rate, or, equivalently, about the spontaneous emission lifetime of an emitter in a dielectric cavity.

Spontaneous emission rate and level shift of an atom inside a dielectric microsphere

В. В. Климов, M. Ducloy, Vladilen S Letokhov

The transition frequency shift and the spontaneous decay rate (the radiative linewidth) variation of an atom placed in a transparent dielectric microsphere are presented. It is demonstrated that with the refractive index of the microsphere material (e.g. diamond) being high enough, the size of the microsphere can be selected such that the spontaneous decay rate decreases (or increases) several times, depending on the position of the atom. At the same time, the atomic transition frequency shift proves to depend more strongly on the position of the atom, reaching high values near the surface of the microsphere.
