    "abstract": "We present a new derivation of the Casimir force between two parallel plane\nmirrors at zero temperature. The two mirrors and the cavity they enclose are\ntreated as quantum optical networks. They are in general lossy and\ncharacterized by frequency dependent reflection amplitudes. The additional\nfluctuations accompanying losses are deduced from expressions of the optical\ntheorem. A general proof is given for the theorem relating the spectral density\ninside the cavity to the reflection amplitudes seen by the inner fields. This\ndensity determines the vacuum radiation pressure and, therefore, the Casimir\nforce. The force is obtained as an integral over the real frequencies,\nincluding the contribution of evanescent waves besides that of ordinary waves,\nand, then, as an integral over imaginary frequencies. The demonstration relies\nonly on general properties obeyed by real mirrors which also enforce general\nconstraints for the variation of the Casimir force.",
