Abstract
Recently, considerable effort has been invested in developing a quantum theory of light propagation in nonlinear optical media.1-4 An important goal of this program is to understand the quantum-mechanical evolution of the electromagnetic-field fluctuations. Several attempts at developing such a theory did not lead to self-consistent constructions, due either to [he anomalous dependence of physical quantities on the size of the quantization cavity1 or to the nonconservation of commutation relations.2 We present a fully analytic theory that is free from these problems.
