Spontaneous-emission spectrum in an absorbing Fabry-Perot cavity

We discuss the frequency dependence of the spontaneous-emission rate (power) in a Fabry-Perot microcavity containing a Lorentz dielectric, with emphasis on modificationsof the spectrum under the circumstances of the strong medium-cavity coupling. With the standard-cavity tuning, the total spontaneous-emission power spectrum consists of a multiwave version of the familiar low-frequency vacuum Rabi split peak and a broad structure on the high-frequency side coming from the enhanced spontaneous emission into the continuum of the obliquely propagating waves. This form of the spectrum derives from the properties of the (single-wave) radiation-intensity spectrum of the molecule. Depending on the observation direction, the radiation-intensity spectrum exhibits either a double-peak structure characteristic of the vacuum Rabi splitting, as observed in light transmission and reflection experiments, or a single-peak structure describing the enhanced spontaneous emission at the corresponding cavity resonant frequency.
