摘要：
The spatial dependence of the cavity modified spontaneous emission of an atom in a cavity with finite output coupling loss is analyzed. The analysis is based on the quantized nonorthogonal eigenmodes defined by the open cavity boundary condition. The spatial dependence of the Rabi oscillation frequency in the strong coupling regime is also analyzed. For spontaneous decay, the spatial dependence is a sinusoidal modulation on top of a dc value, where the interaction with all cavity modes is considered. For Rabi oscillations, where the atom interacts mainly with only one cavity mode, the oscillation frequency also has a sinusoidal spatial dependence.
