Abstract

We compute the resonance energy transfer (RET) in a system composed of two quantum emitters near a host dielectric matrix in which metallic inclusions are inserted until the medium undergoes a dielectric-metal transition at percolation. We show that there is no peak in the RET rate at percolation, in contrast to what happens with the spontaneous emission rate of an emitter near the same critical medium. This result suggests that RET does not strongly correlate with the local density of states.
