Turbulence-free two-photon double-slit interference with coherent and incoherent light

Thomas A. Smith, Yanhua H. Shih

This article reports a study on a turbulence-free Young's double-slit interferometer. When the environmental turbulence blurs out the classic Young's double-slit interference completely, a two-photon interference pattern is still observable from the measurement of intensity or photon number fluctuation correlation. This two-photon interferometer always produces a turbulence-free interference pattern, when the double-slit interferometer is utilizing both first-order spatially incoherent light and spatially coherent light. This type of two-photon interferometer establishes new capabilities in optical observations and sensing measurements that require high sensitivity and stability.

Young’s double-slit experiment with atoms: A simple atom interferometer

O. Carnal, J. Mlynek

An atomic interferometer based on a Young's-type double-slit arrangement has been demonstrated. A supersonic beam of metastable helium atoms passes through a 2-\ensuremath{\mu}m-wide slit in a thin gold foil. This transversely coherent beam impinges on a second microfabricated transmission structure, consisting of two 1-\ensuremath{\mu}m-wide slits at a lateral distance of 8 \ensuremath{\mu}m. This double slit defines two possible paths on which the atoms can reach the detector slit. The good visibility of the observed fringes should make it possible to measure differential phase shifts in the interferometer of 1/3 rad in less than 10 min.

This paper investigates the refraction/reflection laws and the double slit interference pattern for particles. We used boundary conditions that consider the discrete and vibrant structure of the matter with which the particles interact, resulting in their scattering, enabling the use of the Huygens and Huygens-Fresnel principles for particles. We managed to obtain results that generalize Snell’s law, the reflection law and Young’s double slit pattern, for regions very close to the refraction/reflection interface and the slits. The choice made of the scattering used, seems to be the key for a mechanical explanation of light and Young’s double slit pattern, including the case of the particles passing through the slit one at a time, therefore, it challenges the validity of the Niels Bohr’s complementarity principle and might be the missing link that reconnects without hierarchies both Classical Mechanics and Quantum Mechanics.
