摘要
Single and double-slit experiments are performed with two microwave billiards with the shapes of a rectangle and a quarter stadium, respectively. The classical dynamics of the former is regular, whereas that of the latter is chaotic. Microwaves can leave the billiards via slits in the boundary, forming interference patterns on a screen. The aim is to determine the effect of the billiard dynamics on their structure. For this the development of a method for the construction of a directed wave packet by means of an array of multiple antennas was crucial. The interference patterns show a sensitive dependence not only on the billiard dynamics but also on the initial position and direction of the wave packet.
