摘要：

The results of a simple experiment that studies the dipole radiation rate of a radio frequency antenna inside a parallel mirror cavity are presented. Data on the emission rate of the dipole as a function of both mirror spacing and the dipole location between mirrors is taken, and agrees well with a theoretical prediction that holds in both the classical macroscopic and quantum electrodynamical microscopic domains: In particular, theoretically predicted emission suppression and enhancements are observed. This project is then of pedagogical interest in that it is a simple mockup of several famous cavity QED experiments that investigate the change of atomic spontaneous emission rates in such resonators.
