Data for: "Calculations of gap enhanced fluorescence via principal modes"

Here we present two short Fortran 90 codes which we have written to calculate the power radiated by electric and magnetic dipoles embedded in a dielectric half-space, above a more optically dense half-space. The codes use analytical expressions derived by W. Lukosz and R. E. Kunz in [1] and [2], for dipoles oriented both parallel and perpendicular to the interface between the dielectric media. We have used these codes to reproduce Fig. 4 from [1], and Fig. 5 from [2], and to test the far field expressions employed in a more detailed custom Fortran code which has been used to produce the data for our recent manuscript [3].

We include also the data files, in CSV (comma-separated value) format, that reproduce the above mentioned figures and which have been produced using the two presented codes .
