Abstract
There is currently an ongoing debate in Nanophotonics whether the famous Förster resonant energy transfer (FRET) rate between a donor and an acceptor depends on the local radiative density of states (LDOS): no [1] or yes [2]. Motivated by the debate we have initiated a study of an exactly solvable analytic model with essential features of nanophotonic energy transfer. Our model has a pair of ideal dipole emitters –donor and acceptor – that exhibit energy transfer (and spontaneous emission) near an ideal mirror, similar to the archetypal nanophotonic “Drexhage” geometry. The mirror is described by a dielectric planar scatterer, whose T matrix and dyadic Green functions are exactly known from scattering theory, even for vectorial Maxwell waves [3, 4].
