摘要：

We provide measurements of Young's double-slit experiment using a partially-coherent light source consisting of a helium-neon laser incident on a rotating piece of white paper. The data allow a quantitative comparison with both the standard theory that does not account for the width of the slits, and a full, analytic model that does. The data agree much more favorably with the full calculation. (C) 2018 Optical Society of America under the terms of the OSA Open Access Publishing Agreement
