Lagrangian dynamics of the coupled field-medium state of light
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 density wave. In this work, we present the Lagrangian formulation of the MP theory starting directly from the principle of...
