    "abstract": "Parametric down conversion (PDC) is widely interpreted in terms of photons,\nbut, even among supporters of this interpretation, many properties of the\nphoton pairs have been described as \"mind-boggling\" and even \"absurd\". In this\narticle we argue that a classical description of the light field, taking\naccount of its vacuum fluctuations, leads us to a consistent and rational\naccount of all PDC phenomena. \"Nonlocality\" in quantum optics is simply an\nartifact of the Photon Concept. We also predict a new phenomenon, namely the\nappearance of a second, or satellite PDC rainbow.",
