What is Quantum electrodynamics of lossy magnetodielectric samples in vacuum: modified Langevin noise formalism about?

Quantum behavior of the electromagnetic field in unbounded macroscopic media displaying absorption is properly described by the Langevin noise formalism (macroscopic quantum electrodynamics) where the field is assumed to be entirely produced by medium fluctuating sources via the dyadic Green's function. On the other hand, such formalism is able to deal with the case of finite-size lossy objects placed in vacuum only as a limiting situation where the permittivity limit ${\rm Im} ( \varepsilon) \rightarrow 0^+$ pertaining the regions filled by vacuum is taken at the end of the calculations. Strictly setting ${\rm Im} ( \varepsilon) =0$ is forbidden in the Langevin noise formalism since the field would vanish in the lossless regions and this is physically due to the fact that the contribution of the scattering modes to the field is not separated from the contribution produced by the medium fluctuating sources. Recently, a modified Langevin noise formalism has been proposed to encompass the scattering modes and accordingly it is able to describe the structured lossless situations by strictly setting ${\rm Im} (\varepsilon) = 0$. However such modified formalism has been numerically vali
