Two views of absorbative photon exchange effects

The problem of photon-pair transmission through an absorbing medium is discussed using two different approaches, a perturbative Fermi's golden rule calculation and a calculation using photon wavefunction description. The two approaches produce identical results regarding the two-photon absorpti...

Description
Summary:The problem of photon-pair transmission through an absorbing medium is discussed using two different approaches, a perturbative Fermi's golden rule calculation and a calculation using photon wavefunction description. The two approaches produce identical results regarding the two-photon absorption characteristics, despite their conceptual differences
