Energy–Momentum Tensor for the Electromagnetic Field in a Dielectric
The total momentum of a thermodynamically closed system is unique, as is the total energy. Nevertheless, there is continuing confusion concerning the correct form of the momentum and the energy–momentum tensor for an electromagnetic field interacting with a linear dielectric medium. Here we investigate the energy and momentum in a closed system composed of a propagating electromagnetic field an...

متن کاملNonclassical phase of the electromagnetic field in a nonstationary dielectric
There has been recently an increased interest in quantum phenomena in nonstationary media. Most of the recent work addresses the possibility of photon generation in simple models of dielectrics and a dielectric cavity with a timevarying index of refraction @1#. In this context methods for producing an appropriately large rate of change of the refractive index have also been anticipated, e.g., i...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Field in Dielectric Concentrator for Cherenkov Radiation*
Recently we have reported on axisymmetric dielectric concentrator for Cherenkov radiation that focuses almost the whole radiation in the vicinity of the given point (focus) located on the trajectory of the charge [1]. Particularly, we have shown that this structure can increase the field up to two orders of magnitude. In this report we continue investigation of this concentrating target and ana...
متن کاملElectromagnetic field quantization in a linear dielectric medium
By modeling a dielectric medium with two independent reservoirs, i.e., electric and magnetic reservoirs, the electromagnetic field is quantized in a linear dielectric medium consistently. A Hamiltonian is proposed from which using the Heisenberg equations, not only the Maxwell equations but also the structural equations can be obtained. Using the Laplace transformation, the wave equation for th...
