26.—Recent Light on Optical Interference*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 February 2012
Synopsis
The interpretation of optical interference experiments at low light intensities and with independent light sources is discussed. A new experiment on interference between modulated light beams is described briefly, and its significance is indicated. There are two appendices, one a fuller discussion of the conditions under which interference and intensity correlation may be produced, the other a comment on one aspect of Jánossy and Nagy's discussion (1956) of the feasibility of the alternating slit interference experiment.
