Has anyone out there created a rainbow using
photons (POVRay 3.5 preferably)?

I would myself but the time and space required
for 10 billion raindrops and 10 septillion photons
is more than I can stand.

Read the docs. POV can do rainbows automatically (rainbow{} object)

  I wouldn't say "automatically", as it doesn't have anything to do with
light sources and you have to specify a color map by hand. However, the
result is as good as one can expect.

Chances are, he knows that. Chances are, he wants to simulate
a rainbow with photons, rather than fake it with rainbow{}.

Ahh.. no offense, but a rather ludicrous proposal. As he said, that would
involve a huge number of both refractive objects and photons.

  For what purpose?

the 10 billion drops would not have a gaurnteed hit from a tracing ray, even
at ludicriously high resoloutions, they would have to be to small, this is
where media  comes in

Hasn't your mom told you to stay away from the yellow-spotted
mushrooms?
