It seems very strange that the only differences between any two photons are

- location
- relative energy
- direction
- orientation

and if you move relative to it, you can get all the energies the same.

Whatever you do to create electromagnetic waves, you are basically creating identical photons. You are not able to sculpt your own wave form by setting up some sophisticated oscillator. The output would still be made up of identical photons. The wave form is exactly measured by counting the photons at different angles of refraction.

You may think that you are sending out a continuous electormagnetic wave, from your antenna, but you are not.

you may think that you have created a particularly coloured packet of light, but the observer only has to be moving to get a different colour.

If you bend light with a prism and observe the angle of refraction, this will alter according to your relative speed to the light source. the faster you move towards the source, the less the angle. It could be used as a speedometer. The more energy the less it bends.

No bespoke photons, sorry
