Abstract: Within the framework of classical electrodynamics, a formula is derived for the spontaneous radiation rate of molecules and atoms in an arbitrary open cavity in the weak coupling approximation with allowance made for radiation absorption or amplification by the cavity material. The formula agrees well with microdroplet luminescence data. The effect of suppression of the spontaneous resonance radiation rate by the active laser medium is predicted.
