Abstract
A nondispersive inhomogeneous dielectric environment of a donor-acceptor pair of quantum emitters affects their Foerster resonance energy transfer (FRET) rate. We find that this rate does not depend on the emission frequency and hence not on the local optical density of states (LDOS) at that frequency, but that it can be expressed as a broad frequency integral over the optical LDOS. Our numerical results illustrate that even with the broadband LDOS it is hard to control the FRET rate.
