The recently derived input-output relations for the radiation field at a dispersive and absorbing four-port device [T. Gruner and D.-G. Welsch, Phys. Rev. A 54, 1661 (1996)] are used to derive the unitary transformation that relates the output quantum state to the input quantum state, including radiation and matter and without placing frequency restrictions. It is shown that for each frequency the transformation can be regarded as a well-behaved SU(4) group transformation that can be decomposed into a product of U(2) and SU(2) group transformations. Each of them may be thought of as being realized by a particular lossless four-port device. If for narrow-bandwidth radiation far from the medium resonances the absorption matrix of the four-port device can be disregarded, the well-known SU(2) group transformation for a lossless device is recognized. Explicit formulas for the transformation of Fock-states and coherent states are given.
