Abstract
Optical microcavities are structures which confine light to a small region in the range of one wavelength. The radiation of a quantum emitter is coupled to cavity resonances which leads to an optical confinement of the broadband fluorescence [Fig. 1a, b]. A practical design for this single-mode microcavity is formed by two silver mirrors enclosing a transparent dielectric medium with single quantum emitters. Steiner et al. have shown that the fluorescence spectra and decay lifetimes of single molecules in this Fabry-Perot type microcavity are strongly dependent on the resonator length [1].
