Abstract
Light scattering from resonant two-level atoms on three-dimensional lattices can be described by a classical energy conserving t-matrix. The optical band structure of lattices filled with such atoms are calculated exactly in scalar approximation and displays, e.g., the formation of polariton gaps. The Einstein coefficient for spontaneous emission in a system with an inhomogeneous dielectric constant is shown to be proportional to part of the total density of states. This part is calculated for the dipolar lattice model.
