1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

One of the most fundamental and relevant properties of a photonic system is the local density of optical states (LDOS) as it defines the rate at which an excited emitter dissipates energy by coupling to its surrounding. However, the direct determination of the LDOS is challenging as it requires measurements of the complex electric field of a point dipole at its own position. We introduce here a near-field setup which can measure the terahertz electric field amplitude at the position of a point source in the time domain. From the measured amplitude, the frequency-dependent imaginary component of the electric field can be determined and the LDOS can be retrieved. As a proof of concept, this setup has been used to measure the partial LDOS (the LDOS for a defined dipole orientation) as a function of the distance to planar interfaces made of gold, InSb, and quartz. Furthermore, the spatially dependent partial LDOS of a resonant gold rod has been measured as well. These results have been compared with analytical results and simulations. The excellent agreement between measurements and theory demonstrates the applicability of this setup for the quantitative determination of the LDOS in complex photonic systems.
