Abstract
Recently, Ho et. al. showed that a thin 2-dimensional dielectric waveguide with a large core and cladding refractive index difference can be used to modify the spontaneous emission of an active medium in the waveguide1. The modification of the spontaneous emission is a result of the change in photon density of states in the 2-D potential well for photons. We may call such a strongly guided dielectric waveguide a dielectric photonic well.
