Abstract

We report a phenomenon of spectral anomalies in the interference field of Young's double-slit interference experiment. The potential applications of the spectral anomalies in the information encoding and information transmission in free space are also considered.

Anomalous Behaviour of the Spectra in Young's Double-Slit Interference Experiments

Jixiong Pu, Cai Chao

It is shown that an anomaly of the spectrum takes place in the interference field when Young's double-slit interference experiment is illuminated by spatially coherent polychromatic light. Specifically, drastic spectral changes (i.e. the spectral shifts exhibit a rapid transition) occur in the vicinity of the dark fringes. The potential applications of this spectral anomaly are also considered.

Experimental observation of spectral changes of partially coherent light in Young’s experiment

Bharat Kumar Yadav, Syed A. Rizvi, Hem Chandra Kandpal

Experimental observations of a study conducted to investigate spectral shifting and spectral switching that take place in Young's double-slit experiment with partially coherent light are reported. It is shown that for certain critical distances in the near zone of the double slit, the phenomenon of spectral switching is observed, while for other situations a spectral shift is observed. These results are consistent with a theoretical study by Pan and Lu.

Light transmission through two slits: the Young experiment revisited

Reinaldo Welti

In the traditional analysis of Young interference it is supposed that the two slits radiate in the same way for any distance between them. In this work, the phenomenon of interference is studied within the framework of the classical electromagnetic theory and in a context that takes into account the mutual interactions between the slits. The results obtained are in agreement with recent experimental values showing how the total transmitted power is enhanced or reduced as a function of the distance between the two slits.

Curved Interference Patterns---Novel Double Slit and Cross-double Slit Experiments (2)

Huei Peng

Abstract Young’s double slit experiments represent the mystery of quantum mechanics. To explore the mystery, varieties of the double slit and cross-double slit experiments were performed. In this article, we show novel phenomena that the interference patterns of the double slit/cross-double slit experiments can be curved. The curvatures depend on the orientation of the diaphragms of the double slit/cross-double slit. Those experiments provide comprehensive data for developing/testing a theoretical model.
