Abstract :
Limitations introduced by diffraction penetration depth and mirror pass band on controlling spontaneous emission in planar and post microcavities are investigated. Analytic expressions for the emission rate and coupling factor are presented and verified by exact numerical calculations as well as millimeter wave experiments.
