Independent flux budget (escape + guided + absorbed = total)

← Verification · Thin films · Point dipole

Reference: independent flux budget (escape + guided + absorbed = total)
Kind: method: an independent formulation inside this repo (a scattering matrix, a plane-wave superposition, a quadrature): proves the formulation
Calculated: rate channels
Agreement: 1e-5

An electric dipole above 100 nm of an absorbing film (n = 0.2 + 3i) in air, 600 nm: the total against its channels A electric dipole in air above a free-standing 100 nm film of n = 0.2 + 3i, 600 nm. The total rate comes from the reflected Green's function at the source; the channels separately, from the power escaping to either side, the power in guided modes and the power absorbed in the film, so their sum is an independent budget. Quenching rises as h⁻³ at contact.
