Forster dipole-dipole coupling: V_dd(R) ~ kappa^2/R^3; rate ~ kappa^4/R^6 via Laurent expansion

Layer 1 — Physicsin the quantum-biology subtree

Forster resonance energy transfer via dipole-dipole coupling. Setup: donor (D) and acceptor (A) transition-dipoles mu_D, mu_A separated by distance R, orientation factor kappa (= 2/3 under isotropic averaging). In the near-field regime (R…
