Fano diagonalization of a polariton model for an inhomogeneous absorptive dielectric

Abstract

The Hamiltonian of a polariton model for an inhomogeneous linear absorptive dielectric is diagonalized by means of Fano's diagonalization method. The creation and annihilation operators for the independent normal modes are explicitly found as linear combinations of the canonical operators. The coefficients in these combinations depend on the tensorial Green function that governs the propagation of electromagnetic waves through the dielectric. The time-dependent electromagnetic fields in the Heisenberg picture are given in terms of the diagonalizing operators. These results justify the phenomenological quantization of the electromagnetic field in an absorptive dielectric.
