Second Quantization of Scattering Modes of Absorptive Photonic Nanostructures


Abstract in English

We present a quantization scheme for optical systems with absorptive losses, based on an expansion in the complete set of scattering solutions to Maxwells equations. The natural emergence of both absorptive loss and fluctuations without introducing a thermal bath is demonstrated. Our model predicts mechanisms of absorption induced squeezing and dispersion mediated photon conversion.
