Abstract
A pure-state analysis of spontaneous emission of photons by a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a spherically symmetric cavity is presented. Using a classical path representation with respect to photon paths the transition between the limiting cases of coupling to a single cavity mode and the continuum limit is discussed analytically.
