Some previous works showed that radiative transfer between two closely spaced, lossy media diverges as 1/L(2), where L is the spacing between the two media. This divergent power transfer clearly violates energy conservation. The explanation for this unphysical result is that too many optical modes were counted in those previous works, and many of those modes are physically unattainable. Moreover, many physically significant optical modes were not counted in the previous works.
一些先前的研究表明，两个紧密间隔的有损介质之间的辐射传输以1/L(2)的形式发散，其中L是两个介质之间的间距。这种发散的功率传输显然违反了能量守恒。对这种不符合物理规律结果的解释是，在那些先前的研究中计算了过多的光学模式，而其中许多模式在物理上是无法实现的。此外，许多具有物理意义的光学模式在先前的研究中并未被计算在内。
