Phase Transfer in Time-Delayed Interferometry with Nuclear Resonant Scattering
Yuji Hasegawa, Yoshitaka Yoda, Koichi Izumi +4 more
In x-ray interferometry accompanying nuclear resonant scattering with some time delay, interference was observed under the condition that a phase shifter was set in front of a nuclear scatterer. The observed interference pattern clarified that the phase information is transferred to the reemitted beam through the intermediate state in nuclear resonance. A storing of phase information in time-delayed scattering is discussed in a system consisting of a quantized radiation field combined with a nucleus state.
