Dynamical theory for modeling dipole-dipole interactions in a microcavity:The Green dyadic approach - art. no. 193308

A dynamical theory for modeling the dipole-dipole interaction in a microcav ity is formulated using the Green dyadic approach. To our knowledge, this t heory is one of the most general in many aspects of modeling the phenomenon . It accommodates an arbitrary number of layers adjacent to the cavity, con stant but arbitrary dielectric properties within each laver, inclusion of r etardation effects, arbitrary dipole orientations, and an unlimited number of interacting dipoles. Numerical results for the emission properties of in teracting molecular dipoles in a microcavity are presented to illustrate th e capability of the method.
