Thin-cavity enhancement of a normal electric dipole
ID: thin-cavity-enhancement-of-a-normal-electric-dipole
For a normal transition dipole of magnitude , the Fermi's golden rule, one-polarization mode density and single-photon squared field give . Dividing by the free-space electric-dipole spontaneous emission rate gives the title. The factor three relative to the scalar density-of-states ratio comes from the isotropic free-space polarization average. This ideal weak coupling formula assumes wide plates and unperturbed atomic structure, with atomic size much smaller than .
