29. We also note that there is some disagreement in the imaginary part of the electric permittivity at this frequency. Other meaurements, for example, indicate that the imaginary part may be a factor of ∼4 higher than the value used here. See, e. g., M. A. Ordal, Appl. Opt. APOPAI 0003-6935 22, 1099 (1983).

32. The use of these modes in the terahertz domain has also been explored recently in, e.g., Q. Cao and J. Jahns, Opt. Express OPEXFF 1094-4087 13, 522 (2005).

36. Here, we take the spontaneous emission rate in uniform dielectric 1 to be Γ0 = 1 Γv, where Γv is the vacuum spontaneous emission rate, ignoring possible local-field corrections. See, e.g., S. Scheel, L. Knoll, D. G. Welsch, and S. M. Barnett, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.60. 1590 60, 1590 (1999).
37. In D. E. Chang, A. S. Sørensen, P. R. Hemmer, and M. D. Lukin, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett.97.053002 97, 053002 (2006), the maximum Purcell factor is erroneously given to be P∼500 for the nanowire, due to an error in the numerical code. This error also led to a lower predicted single-photon generation efficiency of >70% for the nanowire. All equations and discussions in that paper remain correct.

39. Such an approach was used to study nanofocusing of energy in metallic tips, in M. I. Stockman, Phys. Rev. Lett. PRLTAO 0031-9007 10.1103/PhysRevLett. 93.137404 93, 137404 (2004).

47. The assumption that the field expansion in Eq. 59 can be continued all the way to the surface even in the presence of roughness is known as the Rayleigh hypothesis. See, e.g., D. Agassi and T. F. George, Phys. Rev. B PRBMDO 0163-1829 10.1103/PhysRevB.33.2393 33, 2393 (1986).
