Publisher Summary This chapter discusses a study on electronic energy transfer in a planar microcavity. It focuses on different situations assuming that the electromagnetic coupling between two species is not strong enough to produce a coherent superposition of states. Instead, the dissipative processes to completely destroy the quantum-mechanical coherence between the two subsystems are assumed. In such a situation, the excitation, which is initially localized on one subsystem (usually called “donor”), is incoherently transferred to the second subsystem (called “acceptor”). The most important feature is that a microcavity changes the mode structure of an electromagnetic field; thus, all the interactions mediated by the electromagnetic field are also modified. In particular, the problem of the dipole–dipole interaction, which is modified by the cavity, is addressed both theoretically and experimentally. Another manifestation of the cavity effect on the electromagnetic interaction is the prediction of the cavity-photon-mediated hybridization of the excitations in two spatially separated layers. The chapter discusses the physics of the energy transfer in a planar cavity and the roles that different dissipative processes play.
