Abstract
The dynamics of a V-type three level atom positioned inside a metallic slab sandwiched between two asymmetric infinite dielectrics is studied. The surface plasmon polaritons supported by this structure are calculated, quantized and their dispersions are found to exhibit plasmonic band gaps which in turn modify the spontaneous transition rates and the fluorescence spectrum. Interesting features arise from the variations of the decay rate and spectrum with the mode frequency and electron density including local field effects.
