Spontaneous emission of photons by an atom placed near a dielectric cylindrical waveguide at an arbitrary position is analyzed using global free electromagnetic modes, satisfying necessary continuity conditions at the slab boundaries. These modes include the modes extended over the whole space (travelling) and the modes trapped to a waveguide (waveguided). To describe angular properties of the spontaneous emission, a parametrization of the travelling modes by the outgoing waves has been proposed. Angular characteristics of the travelling photon emission, distributions of the trapped photon emission, as well as the global decay rates have been calculated using the quantum approach and the standard perturbation theory. Difficulties due to the presence of sharp resonances (whispering gallery modes) among the travelling photons are pointed out.
