Abstract
Spontaneous emission control is aimed at controlling spectrally and spatially light emitted from very localized emitters such as atoms, molecules or any other kind of tiny optical source. Because this type of localized emitters usually radiate moderate light power, there is great interest in applications to concentrate the emitted radiation into a narrow angular direction or into a well defined spectral bandwidth.
