Abstract
Light is a quantum electrodynamic entity and hence bundles of rays must be describable in this framework. We demonstrate the duality in the description of elementary optical phenomena in terms of two-point correlation functions and in terms of collections of light rays. The generalizations necessary to deal with two-slit interference and diffraction by a rectangular slit are worked out and the usefulness of the notion of rays of darkness is illustrated.
