Anatoly Viktorovich Masalov, Vladimir G. Minogin · Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Physics · 2014
Spontaneous decay rates of atoms into guided modes of an optical nanofiber are found for atomic transitions between the hyperfine structure sublevels. The decay rates are evaluated for the hyperfine structure transitions in Rb atoms. The efficiency of the guided mode excitation by spontaneous decay of the specific hyperfine atomic states is examined for both the fundamental fiber mode HE 11 and the higher-order modes TE 01 , TM 01 , and HE 21 .
