In the famous double-slit experiment, an interference pattern consisting of dark and bright bands emerges when a beam of light hits two narrow slits. The same effect has also been seen with particles ...

In a finding that could have broad applications in optical devices, researchers have shown that they can transform incoherent light to almost fully coherent and vice versa. Brown University ...

Advanced electron microscopy technologies have made it possible to perform precise double-slit interference experiments. We used a 1.2-MV field emission electron microscope providing coherent electron ...

PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] -- Brown University researchers have demonstrated for the first time a method of substantially changing the spatial coherence of light. In a paper published in the ...
