quantum electrodynamics - what is the relationship between the dynamical casimir effect and virtual particles?


Since virtual particles are disturbances in a field, and not particles in any sense, as explained here, how is it that true photons arise from them when excited with kinetic energy via the dynamical casimir effect?


While the effect is described here, I was hoping to get an answer that touches more with the virtual particle's role in the effect, if it is of sigificance.
