    "abstract": "The Casimir effect in a dispersive and absorbing multilayered system is\nconsidered adopting the (net) vacuum-field pressure point of view to the\nCasimir force. Using the properties of the macroscopic field operators\nappropriate for absorbing systems and a convenient compact form of the Green\nfunction for a multilayer, a straightforward and transparent derivation of the\nCasimir force in a lossless layer of an otherwise absorbing multilayer is\npresented. The resulting expression in terms of the reflection coefficients of\nthe surrounding stacks of layers is of the same form as that obtained by Zhou\nand Spruch for a purely dispersive multilayer using the (surface) mode\nsummation method [Phys. Rev. A {\\bf 52}, 297 (1995)]. Owing to the recursion\nrelations which the generalized Fresnel coefficients satisfy, this result can\nbe applied to more complex systems with planar symmetry. This is illustrated by\ncalculating the Casimir force on a dielectric (metallic) slab in a planar\ncavity with realistic mirrors. Also, a relationship between the Casimir force\nand energy in two different layers is established.",
