the slowing or prevention of an excited atom's spontaneous decay when its surroundings, such as a small cavity, provide no field modes at the emission frequency.

In quantum optics, inhibited spontaneous emission refers to the slowing or prevention of an excited atom's spontaneous decay when its surroundings, such as a small cavity, provide no field modes at the emission frequency. This meaning comes from Kleppner (1981) in Physical Review Letters.[1]
