Abstract:
A canonical quantization scheme is represented for a quantum system interacting with a non-linear absorbing environment. The environment is taken anisotropic and the main system is coupled to its environment through some coupling tensors of various ranks. The non-linear response equation of the environment against the motion of the main system is obtained. The non-linear Langevin-Schrödinger equation is concluded as the macroscopic equation of motion of the dissipative system. The effect of non-linearity of the environment is investigated on the spontaneous emission of an initially excited two-level atom imbedded in such an environment.
