Control over spontaneous emission has many applications ranging from solar energy harvesting and lasing, to single-photon sources for quantum information and telecommunication. As described by Fermi's “golden rule”, the radiative decay rate of the emitters is proportional to the local density of optical states (LDOS) [1,2]. The LDOS counts all available optical modes and is interpreted as the strength...
