Vacuum-field atom trapping in a wide aperture spherical resonator
Jean-Marc Daul, Philippe Grangier
We consider the situation where a two-level atom is placed in the vicinity of the center of a spherical cavity with a large numerical aperture. The vacuum field at the center of th…

Cavity-induced damping and level shifts in a wide aperture spherical resonator
Jean-Marc Daul, Philippe Grangier
We calculate explicitly the space dependence of the radiative relaxation rates and associated level shifts for a dipole placed in the vicinity of the center of a spherical cavity w…
