摘要: Cavity-induced changes in atomic spontaneous emission rates are often interpreted terms of quantum electrodynamical zero-point field fluctuations. A completely classical method computing this effect the unquantized normal mode structure cavity is presented here. Upon applying result to a dipole radiating between parallel mirrors, we obtain same correction as that for such cavity. The theory then compared with recent experiment radio-frequency domain.
