We show the procedure for the secondary quantization of the electromagnetic field in an inhomogeneous medium, based on the formalism of the scattering matrix. We demonstrate the electromagnetic field profiles, which are obtained as a result of applying the scattering matrix formalism and prove their orthogonality. Finally, we derive the Hamiltonian of the system. The obtained procedure allows us to use more complete representation of quantum theory in a layered medium to describe various effects in layered structures.
