Spontaneous symmetry breaking in the system “dielectric medium- electromagnetic
field” is considered. The appearance of massive quasi-particles in a boundless
dielectric medium, a dielectric resonator and a dielectric waveguide is
shown. The mass of the quasi-particles arises because they move in the
medium or the waveguide with the velocity less than the speed of light
in vacuum, as a result of interaction of electromagnetic field and the
medium. |
