title = "Designing the bandwidth of single-photon sources with classical antenna techniques",
abstract = "We discuss the role of the classical electromagnetic theory concept of reactive interactions on determining the bandwidth of a single-photon source. Typically, quantum emitters operate in the weak-coupling regime where the bandwidth of the emission spectrum is simply proportional to their decay rates. However, we introduce a first-order correction to the emission spectrum, demonstrating that its bandwidth is also directly affected by the dispersion properties of the reactive interactions of the quantum emitter with its environment. This correction is particularly important in the intermediate region bridging the weak and strong coupling regimes. As an example of the applicability of this theory, we study the behaviour of a quantum emitter decaying through a coupled two-cavity system. Our results suggests that this setup could be utilized for the design of efficient, but narrowband single-photon sources.",
