Suppression of spontaneous decay at optical frequencies: Test of vacuum-field anisotropy in confined space
Abstract
The radiative decay of Cs atoms excited into the 5${\mathrm{D}}_{5/2}$ level and passing between two metallic mirrors spaced by a 1.1-\ensuremath{\mu}m gap is observed to depend upon their angular momentum. Spontaneous emission at a wavelength of 3.49 \ensuremath{\mu}m is suppressed for the substates with maximum angular momentum normal to the mirrors, which survive without substantial decay during \ensuremath{\sim}13 natural lifetimes. The radiation rate is modified by application of a magnetic field which mixes sublevels having lifetimes in the gap. This experiment illustrates the anisotropy of the vacuum field in confined space.

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.
