Well, it confused me as well, but that was what the dictionary said! Firstly, I'm no physicist, and I don't know what an antiparticle is, so I had a look on Wikipedia, but I still didn't understand.
Apparently, the dictionary was wrong. It isn't its own antiparticle. "Photon holes" are. Don't try to understand that. I tried to ask my close friend, a final year physics undergraduate, but he wouldn't explain to me
.
The article on photons in Wikipedia was more interesting, and even more still, the article on lasers! That's more like what we're really interested in.
