重新审视亚伯拉罕-闵可夫斯基难题

Revisiting the Abraham-Minkowski Dilemma

Mario G. Silveirinha

摘要:

在这里,亚伯拉罕-闵可夫斯基的争议的正确定义的光动量在宏观介质中的目的是重新强调,一个有效的介质形式主义必然限制了可用的信息的内部状态的系统,这是最终的原因,困境没有普遍的解决方案。尽管有这些困难,它表明,在没有材料吸收的限制和稳态条件下,时间平均光(动力)动量可以明确地确定亚伯拉罕的结果,无论是在休息和物质的循环流动的机构。这些研究结果的影响进行了讨论的背景下,量子光学的移动介质,我们详细研究在这样的背景下的闵可夫斯基动量的基本作用。

英文摘要:

Here, the Abraham-Minkowski controversy on the correct definition of the light momentum in a macroscopic medium is revisited with the purpose to highlight that an effective medium formalism necessarily restricts the available information on the internal state of a system, and that this is ultimately the reason why the dilemma has no universal solution. Despite these difficulties, it is demonstrated that in the limit of no material absorption and under steady-state conditions, the time-averaged light (kinetic) momentum may be unambiguously determined by the Abraham result, both for bodies at rest and for circulatory flows of matter. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of quantum optics of moving media, and we examine in detail the fundamental role of the Minkowski momentum in such a context.
