Spontaneous decay in the presence of absorbing dielectric bodies
Stefan Scheel, Ludwig Knoell, Dirk-Gunnar Welsch
We present a formalism for studying the influence of dispersive and absorbing dielectric bodies on a radiating atom in the framework of quantization of the phenomenological Maxwell…

Radiation field quantization in a nonlinear dielectric with dispersion and absorption
Eduard Schmidt, Ludwig Knoell, Dirk-Gunnar Welsch
The problem of quantizing the radiation field inside a nonlinear dielectric is studied. Based on the quantization of radiation in a linear dielectric which includes absorption and…
