Lorentz covariance of the mass-polariton theory of light
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
In the mass-polariton (MP) theory of light formulated by us recently [Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850 (2017)], light in a medium is described as a coupled state of the field and matter. Th…
Light-driven mass density wave dynamics in optical fibers
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
We have recently developed the mass-polariton (MP) theory of light to describe the light propagation in transparent bulk materials [Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850 (2017)]. The MP theory i…
Mass-polariton theory of sharing the total angular momentum of light between the field and matter
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
Light propagating in a nondispersive medium is accompanied by a mass density wave (MDW) of atoms set in motion by the optical force of the field itself [Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850 (20…
Measuring and engineering the atomic mass density wave of a Gaussian mass-polariton pulse in optical fibers
Mikko Partanen, Jukka Tulkki
Conventional theories of electromagnetic waves in a medium assume that only the energy of the field propagates inside the medium. Consequently, they neglect the transport of mass d…
