Abstract

A theory of the spatially localized light observed by Hau et al. [Nature 397 (1999) 594] is formulated on the basis of the Maxwell equations, where the dynamics of the electron currents due to the electromagnetic fields is also taken into account within the self-consistent linear response approximation. Formulae for the energy, momentum and angular momentum of the localized light are derived.
