Spontaneous decay rates in active waveguides

Optics 2009-11-10 v2 Quantum Physics

Abstract

We present a new method to measure the guided, radiated and total decay rates in one-dimensional waveguides. It is also theoretically shown that large modifications of the total decay rate can be achieved in realistic EDFAs and EDWAs with effective mode area radii smaller than ~ 1 micrometer.
