Optics Letters 28 1736-1738 (2003) | Journal

We report on theoretical studies of the inhibition of the spontaneous emission process in subwavelength dielectric media. We discuss the modification of the spontaneous emission rate as a function of the size and shape of the medium as well as the position of the emitter in it. (C) 2003 Optical Society of America.
