Advances in Optical Experiments Demanding New Optical Theory
--- Non-Interference Pattern Evolving to Interference Pattern,
Non-Diffraction Pattern Evolving to Diffraction Pattern, and
Two Non-Diffraction Patterns Evolving to Diffraction-Interference-Hybrid Pattern
We experimentally show novel phenomena: (1) in the same double slit or cross double slit experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-interference and gradually evolve to the interference patterns near the screen;
(2) in the same single slit or cross single slit experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-diffraction and gradually evolve to the diffraction patterns near the screen;
(3) in the same non-parallel-two-slits experiment, within macroscopic distances from diaphragm, the patterns are non-diffraction and gradually evolve to the diffraction-interference-hybrid patterns;
(4) the diffraction-interference-hybrid patterns are angle-dependence.
To interpret consistently above phenomena is the challenge to the existing wave theories of the physical optics. Advances in optical experiments demand new theory.
