Abstract

In this paper, we extend the Langevin noise (LN) scheme to an anisotropic medium which shows loss and dispersion. And the results are compared with previous work.

Equivalence of the Langevin and auxiliary-field quantization methods for absorbing dielectrics

A. Tip, L. Knöll, Stefan Scheel +1 more

Recently two methods have been developed for the quantization of the electromagnetic field in general dispersing and absorbing linear dielectrics. The first is based upon the introduction of a quantum Langevin current in Maxwell's equations [T. Gruner and D.-G. Welsch, Phys. Rev. A 53, 1818 (1996); Ho Trung Dung, L. Kn\"oll, and D.-G. Welsch, Phys. Rev. A 57, 3931 (1998); S. Scheel, L. Kn\"oll, and D.-G. Welsch, Phys. Rev. A 58, 700 (1998)], whereas the second makes use of a set of auxiliary fields, followed by a canonical quantization procedure [A. Tip, Phys. Rev. A 57, 4818 (1998)]. We show that both approaches are equivalent.

Quantization of the radiation field in an anisotropic dielectric medium

Wei Li, Liu Shi-bing, Yang Wei

There are both loss and dispersion characteristics for most dielectric media. In quantum theory the loss in medium is generally described by Langevin force in the Langevin noise (LN) scheme by which the quantization of the radiation field in various homogeneous absorbing dielectrics can be successfully actualized. However, it is invalid for the anisotropic dispersion medium. This paper extends the LN theory to an anisotropic dispersion medium and presented the quantization of the radiation field as well as the transformation relation between the homogeneous and anisotropic dispersion media.

Microscopic calculation of noise current operators for electromagnetic field quantization in absorbing material systems

Omar Di Stefano, Salvatore Savasta, R. Girlanda

We present a microscopic quantization scheme for the electromagnetic field in dispersive and lossy dielectrics of arbitrary geometry. This method also describes anisotropic media and media driven by light field via a spatially nonlocal permittivity. The method removes the need for complicated diagonalization of material, reservoir and field variables and allows us to include the effect of all the material excitations. Dissipation inside the medium is described by considering the coupling of the polarization quanta of the system with the reservoir oscillators in the usual Langevin approach.

A canonical approach to electromagnetic field quantization in a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetodielectric medium

Fardin Kheirandish, Majid Amooshahi, Morteza Soltani

In this paper, by extending the Lagrangian of the Huttner–Barnett model an electromagnetic field in a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetodielectric medium is quantized canonically. In this model, Maxwell equations in the medium are obtained and solved using the Green function technique. The noise operators are found and the results are compared with the phenomenological method.
