Application of boundary conditions yields a matrix formalism that allows compact formulation of the problem. The method is extended to the general case of parallel stratified medialike cavities containing a dipole. Effects on spontaneous-emission rate of dipole emitters are evaluated and discussed for different types of planar microcavities.enthin filmdipolefluorescence lifetimeoptics at surface620535journal article
