Abstract. Formulae for the intensity of the resonant spontaneous electric-dipole emission are
derived in the framework of classical electrodynamics and quantum optics making allowance
for inhomogeneous light absorption. Using these formulas, the physical backgrounds of a
micrometer-sized optical sensor exploiting the properties of the whispering-gallery modes
(WGMs) are studied. The role of the evanescent WGM's field in the considered optical effects
is examined.
Keywords: whispering-gallery mode, morphology-dependent resonance, microlaser
