In optics, Drexhage experiment is an experiment on the decay rate of a dipole near a mirror. It was performed by K. H. Drexhage and his colleagues in the 1960s. As the presence of the mirror creates regions of higher and lower density of states, the measured decay rate depends on the distance between the mirror and the dipole. The modification of the decay rate with respect to the distance is also known as the Drexhage effect.[1][2]
