The photon is treated as a system consisting of a neutrino and an anti- neutrino, each of zero rest mass and described by a four-component wave function, with a deltafunction interaction between them. The Dirac equation for this system is solved by the auxiliary use of a proper coordinate system on the assumption at first that the total rest energy and the interaction range are different from zero and then that these approach zero. Solutions are thus found representing "localized" stutes for which the external motion is described by the Maxwell equations for empty space while the internal motion is limited to a very small region. If one restricts the interaction to a single type, it turns out to be either vector or pseudo-vector. Two neutrinos or two anti-neutrinos do not form such a composite photon. Likewise, the use of two-component neutrino wave functions fail to give such a photon. (auth)
