The quantization of the pure radiation field in a uniformly moving refractive medium is carried through both in the Hamiltonian and in the symmetrical four-dimensional form. The total energy and momentum are diagonalized. For a medium velocity larger than $\frac{c}{n}$ there occur photons with negative energy.
