We consider the Casimir effect for a scalar field interacting with another scalar field that is
confined to two half spaces. This model is aimed to mimic the interaction of the photon field with
matter in two slabs. We use Dirichlet boundary conditions on the interfaces for the fields in the half
spaces and calculate their one-loop contribution to the wave equation for the other field. We perform
the ultraviolet renormalization and develop a convenient formalism for the calculation of the vacuum
energy in this configuration.
