Abstract

The quantum theory of light in real media requires attention to a number of physical features. Even in near-transparent dielectrics, we have to incorporate dispersion, losses and the effects of interfaces. Here, we review the quantization of light in a dielectric and see how this affects radiative processes and light propagation. In the second half of the paper, we turn to optical forces and momentum. There we show why there are two rival force densities in a medium and also why there must be two distinct optical momenta. In the process, this resolves the century-old Abraham-Minkowski dilemma.This article is part of the theme issue 'The quantum theory of light'.

媒介的量子光学。
真实介质中光的量子理论需要注意许多物理特征。即使在接近透明的介质中,我们也必须考虑色散、损耗和界面的影响。在这里,我们回顾光在电介质中的量子化,看看这是如何影响辐射过程和光的传播。在论文的后半部分,我们转向光力和动量。在那里,我们展示了为什么在一个介质中有两种对立的力密度,以及为什么必须有两种不同的光学动量。在这个过程中,这解决了长达一个世纪的亚伯拉罕-闵可夫斯基困境。这篇文章是主题“光的量子理论”的一部分。
