Quantum Effects in Matter-Wave Diffraction
Advances in micro-technology of the last years have made it possible to carry optics textbooks experiments over to atomic and molecular beams, such as diffraction by a double slit or transmission grating. The usual wave-optical approach gives a good qualitative description of these experiments. However, small deviations therefrom and sophisticated quantum mechanics yield new surprising insights...
متن کاملDispersion Evaluation In Optical Wave Guides
One of the factors which limits the transmission capacity of the fiber optics communication channel is the material dispersion. Exact analytical study of the material dispersion is often complex and involves calculating the derivatives of the refractive index of the core. These calculations are too cumbersome to do, especially for high-order derivatives. So material dispersion has only been stu...

متن کاملMatter - wave diffraction in time with a linear potential
Diffraction in time of matter waves incident on a shutter which is removed at time t = 0 is studied in the presence of a linear potential. The solution is also discussed in phase space in terms of the Wigner function. An alternative configuration relevant to current experiments where particles are released from a hard wall trap is also analyzed for single-particle states and for a Tonks-Girarde...
متن کاملSelf-image Effects in Diffraction and Dispersion
Talbot’s self-imaging effect occurrs in near-field diffraction. In the rational paraxial approximation, the Talbot images are formed at distances z = p/q, where p and q are coprimes, and are superpositions of q equally spaced images of the original binary transmission (Ronchi) grating. This interpretation offers the possibility to express the Talbot effect through Gauss sums. Here, we pay atten...
