Abstract
In near-field optics and optical tunneling theory, photon wave mechanics, i.e., the first quantized theory of the photon, allows us to address the spatial field localization problem in a flexible manner which links smoothly to classical electromagnetics. In this letter, photon wave mechanics is developed in a rigorous and unified way, based on which field quantization is obtained in a new way.
