The continuum limit of k-space cavity angular momentum

A wavepacket (electromagnetic or otherwise) within an isotropic and homogeneous space can be quantized on a regular lattice of discrete k-vectors. Each k-vector is associated with a temporal frequency ω; together, k and ω represent a propagating plane wave. While the total energy and total linear mo...
