Foerster resonance energy transfer rate and local density of optical states are uncorrelated in any dielectric nanophotonic medium [PDF]
, 2015 Motivated by the ongoing debate about nanophotonic control of Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET), notably by the local density of optical states (LDOS), we study an analytic model system wherein a pair of ideal dipole emitters - donor and acceptor
