A remark on the isotropic model

Abstract

The applicability of the so-called isotropic and anisotropic complete photonic-band-gap (CPBG) models [S. John and J. Wang, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 64}, 2418 (1990)] to capture essential features of the spontaneous emission (SE) of a fluorescent atom or molecule near a band-gap-edge of a CPBG structure is discussed.

3 pages, plain latex. $\eta$ in the LDOS asymptotics near a band-edge is universal in one dimension. For more info on this subject see http://www.amolf.nl/research/photonic_materials_theory/moroz/moroz.html
