Abstract
We present exact analytic solutions to describe the quantum dynamics of the radiation modes in a one-dimensional cavity vibrating at any one of its resonance frequencies. For a cavity vibrating at its eigenfrequency, m traveling wave packets emerge in the finite part of the field energy density and their amplitudes grow while their widths shrink in time, representing a large concentration of energy. There also exists a “sub-Casimir” region where the energy density equals times the static Casimir energy density.
