Quantum optical correlation through metamaterials

Abstract

Based on the quantization scheme of the radiation fields inthe dispersive and absorptive magnetic media, the normally orderedcorrelation functions of the outgoing field through a metamaterialplate are obtained. Then the relative photon-number densities of thetransmitted field, the reflected field and the absorbed field aregotten through the correlation functions. Furthermore, the contributionsof the relative permittivity and permeability of the metamaterialsto the transmission are analyzed. Our results show that the permittivity and permeability reinforce the transmission for frequencies that arebig compared with the magnetic resonance frequency.
