Abstract
We continue the analysis of our previous papers that were devoted to type I parametric downconversion, the extension to type II being straightforward. We show that entanglement, in the Wigner representation, is merely a correlation that involves both signals and vacuum fluctuations. An analysis of the detection process opens the way to a complete description of parametric downconversion in terms of pure Maxwell electromagnetic waves.
