Here is how it goes. The field is Fourier analysed, and for any component
with a given momentum, the field equation reduces to a harmonic oscillato=

r,

with the field amplitude as dynamical variable. By quantizing this harmo=

oscillator, discrete states are obtained, labelled by a photon number. B=

like with any harmonic oscillator, the dynamical variable isn't well defi=

in those states. In calculations like for an interaction, the base of
photon number is used out of convenience, but any other base would give t=

same result. What happens is that now the field is quantized, and the sa=

uncertainty relations like for a quantized point particle appear.

Suppose I used a spectroscope, then the "harmonics"
may be sorted to very high resolution, energy p=3Dhf.
Power W =3D p/t =3D (hf) * N/t , "N" is photon Number.

I can use photo-cells set up on the spectral projection,
and get measureable power output.
In labs I've used "spectrum analyser scopes", with X
being the frequency and Y a calibrated amplitude.
I don't quite understand the problem. The equipment
works, based on good theory.
