There is an interesting video essay by the Huygens Optics channel where some simulations of these field effects are considered.
Turning Waves Into Particles https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMP5Pbx8I4s
And if unfamiliar, that channel constantly delivers high quality thought provoking content on the nature of light.
One thing I'm not clear on when watching his videos is whether what he's describing is an established scientific interpretation, or his own thoughts as someone who has extensive knowledge on optical engineering (vs theory).
Very enjoyable and thought provoking stuff though!
Edit: spelling
When he provides sources, then it's the first one, otherwise the second.

That's great. Thanks. When you start watching it you think, it will be too long, but it gets better and better. Everything goes back to Einstein. YARH! Yet another rabbit hole! It's amazing we have any time left to do anything after reading HN.
