Periodic Variations in the Wavelength Distributions following Photon Interferences: Analogy with Electron Interferences

Figure 3

Experimental results: total light intensity 𝐼 ( 𝜃 𝑑 ) (top), full width at half maximum Δ 𝜆 (middle), and position 𝜆 m a x (bottom) of the spectral distribution 𝑑 𝐼 / 𝑑 𝜆 as a function of the position along a direction perpendicular to the Lloyd mirror. The error bars (not shown) are of about 0.01 nm for 𝜆 m a x , while they are smaller than 0.01 nm for Δ 𝜆 .
