Abstract
Contour-integration methods are applied to prove the completeness of the solutions of Maxwell equations, when half of the space is filled with a dielectric medium. Our proof fills a gap in a recent article by Carniglia and Mandel on the quantization of evanescent waves. A simple derivation of the commutation relations between the creation and annihilation operators is also given.
