Coherence Momentum in Second-order Vectorial Coherence Theory of Stationary Electromagnetic Fields

Wei Wang, Mitsuo Wada Takeda

Published Jan 1, 2006• 0 citations

Abstract

In analog to the electromagnetic momentum, we introduce vector and tensor densities to the general coherence theory of vector electromagnetic fields, and present new conservation laws for the second- order correlation functions.

Correlation Theory of Quantized Electromagnetic Fields. I. Dynamical Equations and Conservation Laws

C. L. Mehta, E. Wolf

Dynamical equations are derived, which describe the space-time development of second-order coherence tensors of a quantized electromagnetic field in vacuo. With the help of these equations, laws for the conservation of correlations are obtained. Some new non-negative-definiteness conditions which the coherence tensors obey are also established.

Conservation Laws in Quantum-Correlation-Function Dynamics

Wei Wang, Mitsuo Wada Takeda

For a complete and lucid discussion of quantum correlation, we introduced two new first-order correlation tensors defined as linear combinations of the general coherence tensors of the quantized fields and derived the associated coherence potentials governing the propagation of quantum correlation. On the basis of these quantum optical coherence tensors, we further introduced new concepts of scalar, vector and tensor densities and presented some related properties, such as conservation laws and the wave-particle duality for quantum correlation, which provide new insights into photon statistics and quantum correlation.

Correlation Theory of Quantized Electromagnetic Fields. II. Stationary Fields and Their Spectral Properties

C. L. Mehta, E. Wolf

In Paper I of this investigation, dynamical laws which describe the space-time development of second-order coherence tensors of a quantized electromagnetic field in vacuo, and the associated conservation laws, were derived. In the first part of the present paper these results are specialized to stationary fields. Second-order cross-spectral tensors for such fields are then introduced, and some of their properties are discussed. A relation analogous to the Wiener-Khintchine theorem of the theory of stationary random processes is derived. Various non-negative-definiteness conditions obeyed by the cross-spectral tensors are established, and equations which govern the spatial variation of these tensors are deduced. Certain analytic properties of the correlation tensors are derived, and some of their consequences are examined. It is also shown that in the limiting case when the two space-time arguments of the coherence tensors coincide, two of our conservation laws reduce to the averaged form of the energy and the momentum conservation laws of the electromagnetic field.
