Dear MEEP users, I'm trying to simulate the enhancement of the spontaneous emission rate of a point dipole in a planar microcavity consisting of two infinite-plane perfect conductors to check the consistency of the 3D solver (see Hwang, Phys. Rev. B, vol 60, 1999, http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.science.electromagnetism.meep.general/3906/focus=3932)
The schematic diagram from the Phys.Rev.B paper shows two maxima at 0.5 and 1.5 (mirror spacing/wavelength), in my simulation I get 0.458 and 1.349 and slightly higher enhancement. Is it possible that perfect conductors in MEEP have a certain skin depth because I don't see any other reason why I'm getting longer wavelength. The resonator has 1a.u. length, thus the largest wavelength should be 2 corresponding to mirror spacing/wavelength=0.5. Also I have no explanation for higher enhancement. Here my simulation results Thank you in advance! Waldemar (I apologize for any mistakes in my English.) -- NEU: FreePhone - kostenlos mobil telefonieren!
