A canonical approach to electromagnetic field quantization in a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetodielectric medium

Abstract

In this paper, by extending the Lagrangian of the Huttner–Barnett model an electromagnetic field in a nonhomogeneous and anisotropic magnetodielectric medium is quantized canonically. In this model, Maxwell equations in the medium are obtained and solved using the Green function technique. The noise operators are found and the results are compared with the phenomenological method.
