Quantum theory of light in nonlinear media with dispersion and absorption

Eduard Schmidt, John Jeffers, Stephen Mark Barnett +2 more

We present a canonical quantum theory of radiation in nonlinear media taking into account the effects of linear dispersion and absorption in a consistent way. We start from a microscopic model and apply recently developed concepts of the quantization of radiation in dispersive and absorbing linear media and extend the theory in order to include nonlinear optical processes. We derive propagation equations in space and time for the quantized radiation field, with special emphasis on the propagation of quantum-light pulses in Kerr media. In particular, the method enables us to derive systematically the noise sources that arise naturally in the nonlinear terms.

The Photic Field Quantization in Plane Divisional Uniform Absorbing and Dispersive Dielectrics

Yin Xiao

The photic field in the plane divisional uniform absorbing and dispersive dielectrics is quantized by the canonical quantum theory and the classical Green's function of the system. The concrete forms of the leftwards\|traveling and rightwards\|traveling polariton and photon operators in the dielectrics and the cavity are determined by use of the identical idea of the contrast with the homogeneous media and the vacuum case, and the quantized expressions of light field in every region are given. Results show that the polariton and the photon operators can be expressed by the forms of the media noise along the propagation with phase weight, and they are closely related to the media distribution, parameters and the light frequency.
