Effective photons in weakly absorptive dielectric media and the Beer–Lambert–Bouguer law

We derive effective photon modes that facilitate an intuitive and convenient picture of photon dynamics in a structured Kramers–Kronig dielectric in the limit of weak absorption. Each mode is associated with a mode field distribution that includes the effects of both material and structural dispersi...
