Abstract

Canonical quantization of electromagnetic field inside the time--spatially dispersive inhomogeneous dielectrics is presented. Interacting electromagnetic and matter excitation fields create the closed system, Hamiltonian of which may be diagonalized by generalized polariton transformation. Resulting dispersion relations coincide with the classical ones obtained by the solution of wave equation, the corresponding mode decomposition is, however, orthogonal and complete in the enlarged Hilbert space.
