Coherent Beam Splitting by a Thin Grating

摘要: The wide use of beam splitters in quantum interferometry, attosecond metrology, modern information processing, foundations mechanics, has been based on coherence beams emerging from a splitter. Here we further develop the approach which splitter is regarded as transformer an incident wave field (photon or matter field) into narrow maxima at points along and close vicinity two more particular lines. This description was derived by considering thin grating model for photons, atoms molecules. It applied to answer some questions raised discussions interpretation particle duality.
