"less important" or "has been disproven"? One implies it exists and the other that it doesn't.

The truth is meant to be known. Quantization is the lesser concept than full ranges of energy. Mitch Raemsch

The process of quantization doesn't require discrete, countable sets of EM mode functions (although that may well make the mathematics easier). Quantization doesn't necessarily restrict the allowed energies. -- ---------------------------------+--------------------------------- Dr. Paul Kinsler Blackett Laboratory (Photonics) (ph) +44-20-759-47734 (fax) 47714 Imperial College London, Dr.Paul.Kinsler(a)physics.org SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom. http://www.qols.ph.ic.ac.uk/~kinsle/

However, some basis sets will provide simpler descriptions of the behavior than others. And for some situations, no description will be simple, and I'll have to settle for least-complicated instad. The process of "Quantizing the field" isn't unique. It's a choice. Generally, though, there is only a small set of useful bases for which quantization gives a useful description. -- ---------------------------------+--------------------------------- Dr. Paul Kinsler Blackett Laboratory (Photonics) (ph) +44-20-759-47734 (fax) 47714 Imperial College London, Dr.Paul.Kinsler(a)physics.org SW7 2AZ, United Kingdom. http://www.qols.ph.ic.ac.uk/~kinsle/ |
