quantum aspects of light propagation
p 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 . p quantum aspects of light propagation is a valuable reference for researchers and engineers involved with general optics quantum optics and electronics nonlinear optics and photonics .
