Photons are closed loops of EM flux with one open loop being the
propagation direction. IF you understand SO(4) physics then you also
will grasp how this looks.
Photons obviously are discrete particles and not simple waves.
Physicist often are confused by the teachers that talk of virtual
photons in the case of EM wave interaction. There are no virtual photons
in a sense of being particles.
But the main problem is the silly standard model that assumes that
everything is a field. But the standard model has no clue how such a
field is generated!! They simply postulate it like the church postulates
anything you have to believe. Electron = charge = point mass/field =
Kindergarten physics.
So throw these papers in the bin ! Just childish nonsense.

The "lie" here is the idea that photons exist; that photons are like
little grains of sand flying through space. Little tiny
billiard-balls which excite atoms by crashing into them. Light is
photons, and light waves are a delusion.

Photons, as commonly conceived, don't exist. Only EM quanta exist.
All the undergrad physics text are lying to you.
If we properly taught this, we'd have to tell students that half of
quantum physics also applies to simple radio circuitry ...that
Stimulated Emission and Rabi-flopping aren't about photons, and that
laser physics can be duplicated with an array of LC tank circuits.
(Noooooooo! Lasers GOTTA be QM, pure particle physics, not just some
embarrassing old Ben Franklin static electricity stuff, or like dusty
radio tube-receivers from back before FM was invented!! )
If... if lasers are just wave-mechanics, that requires that all the
grad students would need to ACTUALLY LEARN all that physics stuff in
Griffiths, rather than just temporarily memorizing it for the exam,
then ignoring it all.

-0700 (PDT):
My thoughts:- Since photons travel at the speed of light, if special
relativity is correct, then in their own reference
frame, they travel no distance, and it takes no time. Hence
transmission & absorption occur concurrently and without any
separation distance. This may explain the "full energy dump".
BTW the full energy is not always dumped. Consider the Compton effect.
