Abstract
A simple model of the electromagnetic field coupled to matter as a system of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators (QHOs) with a photon number conserving Hamiltonian is specialized to a translationally invariant optical fiber and then equipped with a QHO model for a one-photon fluorophore source. In the narrowband fluorescence limit, this fluorophore model becomes the same as the classical model for a current loop antenna.
