It is well established that the interaction of light with matter generally imparts mechanical
forces and associated torques. Where laser light is involved, such effects can be deployed …

Conventional theories of electromagnetic waves in a medium assume that the energy
propagating with the light pulse in the medium is entirely carried by the field. Thus, the …

The relativistic theory of the time-and position-dependent energy and momentum densities
of light in glasses and other low-loss dispersive media, where different wavelengths of light …

We have recently shown that the electromagnetic pulse in a medium is made of mass-
polariton (MP) quasiparticles, which are quantized coupled states of the field and an atomic …

Quantum electrodynamics (QED) is the most accurate of all experimentally verified physical
theories. How QED and other theories of fundamental interactions couple to gravity through …

In the mass-polariton (MP) theory of light formulated by us recently [Phys. Rev. A 95, 063850
(2017) 2469-9926 10.1103/PhysRevA. 95.063850], light in a medium is described as a …

In the recently introduced mass-polariton (MP) theory of light (Partanen et al 2017 Phys.
Rev. A 95 063850), the optical force of light drives in a medium forward an atomic mass …

Axion electrodynamics is based upon the Lagrangian of the electromagnetic (EM) field plus
its interaction with the axions, and is accordingly a physically open system. It means that the …

This thesis aims to study nonlocal Lagrangians with a finite and an infinite number of
degrees of freedom. We obtain an extension of Noether's theorem and Noether's identities …

The macroscopic electromagnetic (EM) energy–momentum tensor is one of the most
important quantities characterizing the propagation and interaction of light in materials. In …
