Observation on the incompatibility between the first-order and second-order interferences with laser beamsJournal:
Optics CommunicationSummary:
We observed experimentally that the first-order and second-order interference patterns of laser beams in a
modified Michelson interferometer are complementary and the conditions for seeing one preclude the
possibility to see the other. One- and two-photon interferences based on Feynman's path integral theory are
employed to interpret the experimental results.Co-author:
