Abstract:

The study of reduction of electromagnetic fields in six-space to the irreducible representaion of proper, orthochronous, inhomogeneous Lorentz group has been undertaken. Second quantized expresions for field components have been derived by defining appropriate set of creation and annihilation operators in the theory and the commutation relations between various field operators have been derived. The resulting six-photon states corresponding to different polarizations have also been identified in terms of transverse and longitudinal polarizations in both spatial and temporal planes. The second quantized expressions of the six-angular momentum components have also been derived. The second quantized expressions of electromagnetic fields have been used to study the atomic interactions with these fields. The transition probability has been computed using weak field approximation which has been shown to exhibit a unique temporal dependence through the atomic dynamical variables and have important bearings on the nature of interaction involved.
