Electromagnetic stress at the boundary: Photon pressure or tension?

It is well known that incident photons carrying momentum ℏk exert a positive photon pressure. But if light is impinging from a negative refractive medium in which ℏk is directed toward the source of radiation, should light exert a photon “tension” instead of a photon pressure? Using an ab initio met...
