    "abstract": "We study the scattering of the quantized electromagnetic field from a linear,\ndispersive dielectric using the scattering formalism for quantum fields. The\nmedium is modeled as a collection of harmonic oscillators with a number of\ndistinct resonance frequencies. This model corresponds to the Sellmeir\nexpansion, which is widely used to describe experimental data for real\ndispersive media. The integral equation for the interpolating field in terms of\nthe in field is solved and the solution used to find the out field. The\nrelation between the in and out creation and annihilation operators is found\nwhich allows one to calculate the S-matrix for this system. In this model, we\nfind that there are absorption bands, but the input-output relations are\ncompletely unitary. No additional quantum noise terms are required.",
