Spontaneous emission rate of an excited atom placed near a nanofiber
V. V. Klimov, M. Ducloy
Abstract
The spontaneous decay rates of an excited atom placed near a dielectric cylinder are investigated. A special attention is paid to the case when the cylinder radius is small in comparison with radiation wavelength (nanofiber or photonic wire). In this case, the analytical expressions of the transition rates for different orientations of dipole are derived. It is shown that the main contribution to decay rates is due to quasistatic interaction of atom dipole momentum with nanofiber and the contributions of guided modes are exponentially small. On the contrary, in the case when the radius of fiber is only slightly less than radiation wavelength, the influence of guided modes can be substantial. The results obtained are compared with the case of dielectric nanospheroid and ideally conducting wire.
