Dipole emission in finite photonic bandgap structures: an exactly solvable one-dimensional model

J.P. Dowling

This paper considers an exact model of atomic spontaneous dipole emission and classical dipole radiation in a finite photonic bandgap (PBG) structure. The full three-dimensional (3-D) or two-dimensional (2-D) problem is reduced to a finite one-dimensional (1-D) model, which then is solved for analytically using algebraic matrix transfer techniques. The results give insight to the electromagnetic emission process in periodic dielectrics, quantitative predictions for emission in 1-D dielectric stacks, and qualitative formulas for the 2-D and 3-D problem.

Suppression of spontaneous emission in a 1-D photonic bandgap structure: experimental demonstration

B. Boggs, Christoph M. Greiner, THOMAS W. MOSSBERG

Summary form only given. Recently, photonic bandgap structures (PBGS) and their optical properties have attracted great interest. Spontaneous emission from an atom or molecule in a PBGS may be manipulated both in spatial and temporal characteristics. This is accomplished by manipulating or altering the local environment (vacuum field) seen by the atom or molecule. PBGS accomplish this by reducing or enhancing (to varying degree) the vacuum field as seen by the atom in a spatial and frequency-dependant manner. We show a schematic of the experimental setup and the Er-doped fiber Bragg grating used.
