In this work the methods of mode decomposition and Fourier analysis of quantum fields on curved spacetimes previously available mainly for the scalar fields on Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetimes are extended to arbitrary vector fields on general spatially homogeneous spacetimes. This is done by developing a rigorous unified framework which incorporates mode decomposition, harmonic analysis and Fourier analysis. Explicit constructions are performed for a variety of situations arising in homogeneous cosmology. A number of results concerning classical and quantum fields known for very restricted situations are generalized to cover almost all cosmological models.
