Light emission by magnetic and electric dipoles close to a plane interface I Total radiated power

Lukosz, W., Kunz, R. E.·1977·Journal of the Optical Society of America

Abstract

Expressions for the total power radiated by magnetic and electric dipoles of arbitrary orientation located in a medium 1 at distance z0 from the interface to a homogeneous or planar stratified medium 2 are derived. A relation between the normalized powers radiated by magnetic and electric dipoles is established. For a homogeneous loss-free medium 2, curves of the normalized powers L(z0)/L∞ radiated by magnetic and electric dipoles versus the normalized distance z0/λ1 are presented for different values of the relative refractive index n = n2/n1 as the only parameter. The computer calculations are compared with analytical expressions derived for small and large distances. For n > 1, the contribution of the evanescent waves to the radiated power is calculated separately. We show that the classical results for the normalized radiated power yield the correct normalized spontaneous emission rates from an excited atomic state for electric and magnetic dipole transitions, respectively. We point out that the results for the electric dipole also give the change of the total power scattered by a small dielectric scattering particle when it is placed close to an interface.

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.
