Abstract
Light emission by excited species that decay via an electrical dipole transition ismodeled as an electrical dipole antenna. We examine the various effects thatoccur when such a dipole is close to a metallic interface: wide-angle interference,coupling to the surface plasmon mode and absorption of the near-field. Analyticalexpressions for the power coupled to the surface plasmon and near-field absorption arederived. The case of a non-absorbing metal is compared to that of an absorbingmetal.
