Photon generation by time-dependent dielectric: A soluble model

Markus Cirone, Kazimierz Rzążewski and Jan Mostowski

A soluble model of electromagnetic field interacting with time-dependent dielectric medium is given. The main assumption is that the dielectric constant is switched rapidly from the initial to the final value. Generation of electromagnetic field and photon statistics are found.
