P2230500

Diffraction intensity at slit and double slit systems with optical profile bench

Diffraction intensity I as a function of location x for the single slit b1 = 0.1 mm and b2 = 0.2 mm. The x axis of the graph for b1 = 0.1 mm is shifted upwards. The intensity of the areas next to the central peak is represented enlarged by a factor of 10. (Distance between slit and photodiode L = 107 cm; = 632.8 nm).

Principle

Si-Photodetector with Amplifier

Slit and double slit systems are illuminated with laser light. The corresponding diffraction patterns are measured by means of a photodiode which can be shifted, as a function of location and intensity. Tasks 1. Determination of the intensity distribution of the diffraction patterns due to two slits of different widths.The corresponding width of the slit is determined by means of the relative positions of intensity values of the extremes. Furthermore, intensity relations of the peaks are evaluated. 2. Determination of location and intensity of the extreme values of the diffraction patterns due to two double slits with the same widths, but different distances between the slits. Widths of slits and distances between the slits must be determined as well as the intensity relations of the peaks.
