摘要
We report, the experimental result of a study, conducted to investigate the spectral anomalies in the region of superposition in the Young's double-slit interference experiment. These results are in close agreement with the theoretical study by Pu et al. (J. Pu, C. Cai S. Nemoto, Opt. Express 12 (2004) 5131). The application of this study might be useful in realizing the information transmission in free space, in optical signal processing and optical computing. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
