Abstract:Atom-field interactions near optical interfaces have a wide range of applications in quantum technology. Motivated by this, this paper revisits the spontaneous emission of atomic dipoles in the presence of a two sided semi-transparent mirror. First we review the main properties of the quantised electromagnetic field near a semitransparent mirror. To do so, we employ a quantum mirror image detector method which maps the experimental setup which we consider here onto analogous free space scenarios. We emphasise … Show more
