    "abstract": "The Hamiltonian of a polariton model for an inhomogeneous linear absorptive\ndielectric is diagonalized by means of Fano\u0027s diagonalization method. The\ncreation and annihilation operators for the independent normal modes are\nexplicitly found as linear combinations of the canonical operators. The\ncoefficients in these combinations depend on the tensorial Green function that\ngoverns the propagation of electromagnetic waves through the dielectric. The\ntime-dependent electromagnetic fields in the Heisenberg picture are given in\nterms of the diagonalizing operators. These results justify the\nphenomenological quantization of the electromagnetic field in an absorptive\ndielectric.",
