Quantum Aspects of Light Propagation provides an overview of spatio-temporal descriptions of the electro-magnetic field in linear and nonlinear dielectric media, applied to macroscopic and microscopic theories. Readers will find an introduction to canonical quantum descriptions of light propagation in a nonlinear dispersionless dielectric medium, in addition to linear and nonlinear dispersive dielectric media. These descriptions are regularly simplified by a transition to the one-dimensional propagation, which is illustrated by optical processes. Valuable analyses of quantization in waveguides, photonic crystals and propagation in strongly scattered media are also included, in addition to various optical resonation problems.
