    "abstract": "The quantization of the electromagnetic field in a three-dimensional\ninhomogeneous dielectric medium with losses is carried out in the framework of\na damped-polariton model with an arbitrary spatial dependence of its\nparameters. The equations of motion for the canonical variables are solved\nexplicitly by means of Laplace transformations for both positive and negative\ntime. The dielectric susceptibility and the quantum noise-current density are\nidentified in terms of the dynamical variables and parameters of the model. The\noperators that diagonalize the Hamiltonian are found as linear combinations of\nthe canonical variables, with coefficients depending on the electric\nsusceptibility and the dielectric Green function. The complete time dependence\nof the electromagnetic field and of the dielectric polarization is determined.\nOur results provide a microscopic justification of the phenomenological\nquantization scheme for the electromagnetic field in inhomogeneous dielectrics.",
