Cubic cavity under screw-like deformations. (A) Sketch of the geometry: open cubic cavity of side =1λp, immersed in an unbounded vacuum space, containing a dielectric sphere of permittivity εp=11.7 and resonant radius rp=0.2091λp, as wells as two “screws” consisting of dielectric blocks of square cross-section with side s=0.2λp and variable height d. The cavity is otherwise assumed to be filled with a nonmagnetic substance characterized by relative permittivity following a Drude model, ε2(ω)=1ωp2/(ω2+iωωc) with ωc=104ωp. A QE, modeled as a two-level system whose transition frequency equals the plasma frequency of the host medium filling the cavity, ω0=ωp, is positioned at the center of the dielectric sphere. (B) Simulated spectral density, g(ω), normalized to the maximal computed value, for different screw heights: d=0λp (no screws), d=0.2λp, and d=0.275λp. The figure confirms that screw-like deformations induce no significant detuning but significantly impact the peak value of the spectral density.
