Modification of spontaneous emission rate in planar dielectric microcavity structures
Abstract
The spontaneous emission rate and radiation pattern for a thin quantum well sheet enclosed by a one-dimensional dielectric microcavity have been calculated. By placing the sheet in the node (antinode) position of the cavity standing wave, the spontaneous emission in the direction normal to the sheet will be decreased (enhanced). In the former case the theory predicts that the spontaneous lifetime can be increased more than a factor of 10. In the latter case both theory and experiments confirm that such a simple structure can couple a substantial amount (30--90 %) of the spontaneous emission into the cavity resonant mode. In both cases, however, theory predicts that the spontaneous emission lifetime will increase for structures without guided modes.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
