## Abstract

The nonequilibrium photon Green function for a bounded medium surrounded by vacuum is analyzed on the basis of the Dyson equation. As its components, the field-field fluctuations as well as the spectral function split up into parts related to medium and vacuum. Particularly, it is shown that the vacuum-induced fluctuations describe propagation of arbitrary, even nonclassical light in terms of solutions of the classical wave propagation problem. The results generalize previously obtained ones for steadily excited media in slab geometry.

## Recorded benchmark results

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.
