Abstract

âº Spontaneous decay of an emitter coupled to a system of carbon nanotubes is studied. âº Presence of carbon nanotubes substantially enhances emitter decay rate. âº Emitter decay rate spectra contain pronounced resonance lines. âº Resonance frequencies depend on the carbon nanotube length. âº Resonance frequencies depend on the relative permittivity of surrounding medium.
