Radiation and lifetimes of atoms inside dielectric particles
Journal Article
·
· Phys. Rev. A; (United States)
The transition rates of atoms inside spherical dielectric particles are computed and studied as functions of the transition frequency and of the physical properties of the host particle. The rates are found to range from about 0.2 to more than 1500 times the free-space value, depending on the location of the atom and other relevant physical parameters. The radiation from distributions of atoms inside liquid drops is also studied. Analytic and numerical results are given for the case of a uniform distribution of excited atoms. Large enhancements of the power output (some 100 times the value for the same distribution in bulk material) are found to occur under resonant conditions.
