Quantum Aspects of Light Propagation
Quantum Aspects of Light Propagation provides an
overview of spatio-temporal descriptions of the electromagnetic
field in linear and nonlinear dielectric media, appropriate to
macroscopic and microscopic theories. Readers will find an
introduction to canonical quantum descriptions of light
propagation in a nonlinear dispersionless dielectric medium, and
an approach to linear and nonlinear dispersive dielectric
media. Illustrated by optical processes, these descriptions
are simplified by a transition to one-dimensional
propagation. Quantum theories of light propagation in
optical media are generalized from dielectric media to
magnetodielectrics, in addition to a presentation of classical
and nonclassical properties of radiation propagating through
negative-index media. Valuable analyses of quantization in
waveguides, photonic crystals, and propagation in strongly
scattering media are also included, along with various optical
resonator properties. The theories are utilized for the quantum
electrodynamical effects to be determined in periodic dielectric
structures which are known to be a basis of new schemes for
lasing and a control of light field state.
