RESONANCE ENERGY TRANSFER BETWEEN TWO ATOMS IN THE PRESENCE OF A MULTILAYERED-CYLINDRICAL WAVEGUIDE

Abstract

Resonance energy transfer (RET) between quantum emitters is an important process in many different physical systems, as well as in chemistry and biology. Considering the nature of this process and the potential to control it is a matter of widespread interest today. We already know that radiative processes of any quantum emitters are affected by the environment. Resonance energy transfer of two atoms is the exchange of excitation between them mediated by the quantum electromagnetic field; it can be significantly influented by environment. We consider the resonance energy transfer rate of atoms positioned inside of a multilayered-cylindrical waveguide. The configuration studied is a Bragg-distributed mirror type. The dependence of resonance energy transfer on the distance of the atoms-surface as well as the frequency dependence of the emitted photon will be considered. The results show that the amplification or annihilation is very strong when the Bragg coditions are satisfied.
