Fig. 1. Dispersion relation of (a) free photon in a dielectric, (b) free photon propagating in a coupling prism, and dispersion relations of surface plasmons at the interface between the metal and the dielectric before (PI) and after (P2) the deposition of a thin dielectric layer.

An additional approximation can be obtained if one uses the decomposition of the electron-electron interaction mediated by the free photon propagator D , into a longitudinal and a transverse part (according to Eq. (A.IO)) to introduce the corresponding decomposition for and... 

The form of the free photon propagator depends on the choice of gauge, that is the parameter 1 in the Lagrangian (2.1). In Landau gauge, corresponding to the choice A = oo, one has... 

While the other two basic elements of perturbation theory, the free photon propagator (A.9) and the simple vertex, remain unchanged, it seems worth pointing out that the full photon propagator... 

Maxwell s equations (1.9) can be formally integrated with the aid of the free-photon propagator According to the total current introduced above, the resulting total radiation held may be decomposed as... 

As discussed in Section 2 the form of the free photon propagator D vi ) depends on the choice of gauge. In Sections 2-4 Feynman gauge (A = 1) is used, for which D y is explicitly given by... 

Using the polarization tensors (261),(262), the free photon propagator (203) and the longitudinal and transverse polarization functions the Dyson... 

Further possible approximations rely on the fact that the free photon propagator, which mediates the interaction between the fermions, can be split into a longitudinal (Coulomb) and a transverse part... 

The double line stands for the free photon propagator D J, and the wiggly line for the lowest order fermion propagator of the RHEG,. The photon propagator can be split into a vacuum contribution and a direct contribution due to the occupied electron states... 

Multiphoton Absorption and Ionization. High laser powers can induce the simultaneous absorption of two or more photons that together provide the energy necessary to excite a transition this transition may be one that is forbidden as a single-photon process (8,297). Such absorption can be made Doppler-free by propagating two laser beams of frequency V in opposite directions, so the Doppler shifts cancel and a two-photon transition occurs at 2v for any absorber velocity. The signal is strong because aU absorbers contribute, and peak ampHtudes are enhanced by, which may... 

We have seen above that calculation of the corrections of order a"(Za) m (n > 1) reduces to calculation of higher order corrections to the properties of a free electron and to the photon propagator, namely to calculation of the slope of the electron Dirac form factor and anomalous magnetic moment, and to calculation of the leading term in the low-frequency expansion of the polarization operator. Hence, these contributions to the Lamb shift are independent of any features of the bound state. A nontrivial interplay between radiative corrections and binding effects arises first in calculation of contributions of order a Za) m, and in calculations of higher order terms in the combined expansion over a and Za. 

The situation with photon propagation in free space is quite diferent. If vacuum is equated to absence of a fluid, what is the support for the waves Of course, particle-like propagation solves the problem, but it (strictly) invalidates Maxwell s equations in vacuum. There is a positive aspect. Since vacuum is nondispersive, all velocities have the same magnitude. 

Let us concentrate on the particle aspect only. The main issue is to identify an space (three- or four-dimensional ) where photons propagate with constant speed c. Einstein s second postulate of the special theory of relativity (STR) requires the speed of light in free space to be the same for all inertial observers. This postulate is conventionally interpreted as implying the non-existence of a preferred frame E. As discussed in section II, the exactly opposite view will be adopted here. 

This leads to the consequence that the momentum of a free photon, kph, propagating in a dielectric medium... 

The constant c being the maximum velocity, also called speed of light in free space, because in vacuum photons propagate at this maximum velocity, the constant Pq is a scaling coefficient and it is equal to the product of the rest mass Mg and the velocity of light ... 

Input and output terminals are used to connect the nanophotonic device in the integrated circuit with external macroscopic photonic devices. The input terminal is used to convert the incident propagating light (free photons) to the optical near-held... 

The second step is the transition from the intermediate state to the final excited state in the LUMO ( Eex, el) <8> Eex ",phonon)) by the DP-CP or the free photon (conventional propagating light). Here, E x, el)) represents the excited state of the electron, and E x phonon) represents the excited state of a phonon whose energy depends on the photon energy used for the transition. Since this transition is electric dipole-allowed, it can be brought about not only by the DP-CP but also by the free photon. After this transition, the excited phonon relaxes to the thermal equilibrium state. E x iharma phonori)... 

However, by the relations (5.321) and (5. 322) the hidden effect of the anomalous absorption was emphasized in the third term by the different signs attached, meaning a lack of the absorption associated to the alpha branch - and, in fact, a plus of free photons transferred, while recording for the beta branch a plus of absorption and a minus of free photons transferred, both effects happened by the dynamic localization of the fields between the propagation directions, i.e., the associated branches of DS. 

The final evaluation (involving one numerical integration) has only been achieved within two further approximations (i) In the no-sea approximation, the full photon propagator is replaced by the free propagator...
