| 6D15.00 | Interference of Polarized Light | | |
| 6D15.01 | interference of polarized light | AJP 41(4),583 | On using unpolarized light. |
| 6D15.10 | interference of polarized light | AJP 52(12),1141 | Polarized
laser light is focused by a lens on a small calcite crystal and the interference
pattern of the two resulting beams depends on the type and orientation of
a second polarizer. |
| 6D15.10 | interference with polarized light | AJP 39(6),679 | A
polarized laser beam passes through a calcite crystal and a polarizing sheet
is interposed and rotated to make fringes appear and disappear. |
| 6D15.14 | interference question | AJP 31(4),303 | Mellon AJP 30(10),772 was wrong and here is why... |
| 6D15.15 | QM polarized light demos | AJP 42(5),408 | Eigenstates of the prism, etc. |
| 6D15.20 | polarized double-slit diffraction | AJP 51(5),464 | The diffraction patterns from parallel and perpendicular light through a double slit. |
| 6D15.20 | total interference | AJP 30(6),470 | Show
the standard interference patterns with Polaroids in each path aligned parallel,
then rotate one and the pattern disappears. |
| 6D15.20 | Fresnel-Arago law | AJP 38(7),917 | Use
a laser to obtain widely separated fringes from a double slit. Cut ribbons
of polarizer and hold with orthogonal polarization in the two exit beams
and the fringes disappear.. |
| 6D15.21 | interference of polarized light | AJP 31(8),624 | Pointer to articles in other publications. |
| 6D15.22 | interference in polarized light | AJP 49(7),690 | Demonstrating
the Fresnel-Arago laws for interference in polarized light using a grating
as a beam splitter and observing the interference fringes in its conjugate
plane. |
| 6D15.25 | interference with polarized light | AJP 38(10),1249 | Polarized
light is passed through a double slit, the two output beams are polarized
perpendicularly, and a third polarizer can be used as an analyzer. |
| 6D15.26 | elliptically polarized interference | AJP 40(5),735 | The double slit with orthogonal elliptical polarization. |
| 6D15.30 | interference of polarized light | AJP 30(10),772 | Put
a quarter wave plate in one path of a Michelson interferometer and show the
waves don't have to have the same polarization to interfere. |
