It has been discussed in previous threads about current experimental
evidence that fock states with N photon occupied modes show an
effective wavelength of (\omega/c) / N
On the other side, Standard Quantization an EM field with classical
boundary conditions involves taking the availables classical modes in
the cavity (or whatever region we have under our boundary conditions),
assuming each modes looks like A(X,t) =a(t)*A_m(X) + c.c. and
replacing a(t) and a*(t) respectively by annihilation and creating
operators in the m-mode.
Since this scheme for quantization essentially says that the spatial
dependence of the modes is not affected by how much photons are in the
mode, i wonder how does this fit with the mentioned effective N-photon
wavelength.
