A Double Slit

Abstract Young’s double slit experiments express 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 universal phenomena: (1) the fringes of the interference patterns of the double slit/cross-double slit/triple slit experiments can be distributed along curves, and the curvatures depend on the orientations of the diaphragms; (2) the characteristics of the interference patterns of the double slit/cross-double slit/triple slit experiments depend on the orientation of the diaphragm, specifically, on which axis the diaphragm rotates around, the rotating angle and how to rotate, clockwise or counterclockwise; and (3) in the cross-double slit experiments, the interference patterns created by the tilt double slits tend to incline towards the axis that is perpendicular to the axis the diaphragm rotates around. The single slit experiments have the same phenomena that, due to the rotation of the diaphragm around different axis, either the patterns are curved or the patterns expanded. We show the novel universal phenomena of the single slit/double slit/cross-double slit/triple slit experiments, which may be utilized in the applications of, for example, the double slit.

Abstract Young’s double slit experiments express 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 mystery phenomena: (1) the characteristics of the interference patterns of the double slit and cross-double slit experiments depend on the orientation of the diaphragm used in the experiment, specifically on which axis the diaphragm rotates around, the rotating angle and how to rotate, clockwise or counterclockwise; and (2) in the cross-double slit experiments, the characteristics of the interference patterns also depend on which slit photons pass through; (3) unlike the regular double slit and regular cross-double slit experiments, in which the interference patterns are along the straight line, the interference patterns of the double slit/cross-double slit experiments can be along curve, and the curvatures depend on the orientations of the diaphragms of the double slit/cross-double slit. Those experiments show more mysteries of the double slit and cross-double slit experiments and provide comprehensive data for developing/testing a theoretical model.

The single slit and double slit (where two slit are parallel) experiments are two profound experiments in Physical/quantum optics. In this article, we study the variety of the optical experiments, including cross single slit, curve-single slit, non-parallel double slit, curve-double slit, non-parallel curve-double slit experiments. The experiments show the following novel patterns. Hourglass-shape diffraction pattern of a Curve-single slit Ring-shape interference pattern with spot at center of a ring Hybrid pattern of a non-parallel double slit Arc-shape and point-symmetry interference patterns of a curve-double slit Butterfly-shape interference pattern of a non-parallel-curve-double slit The experiments show that it is photons that produce wave-like patterns, referred to it as PhotoWave phenomena. It is a challenge to interpret all PhotoWave experiments consistently and completely.
