Résumé
La longueur des paquets d'ondes n'est pas identique à la longueur de cohérence. Est-ce-que la longueur des paquets d'ondes est accessible aux mesures expérimentales ? Une possibilité d'observation par interférométrie à résolution temporelle est proposée.
Abstract
The concept of wavepackets is widely used in visualizing the behavior of particles in optical experiments. The length of wavepackets, however, is shown not to be synonymous with coherence length as measured by interferometry. Is the length of wavepackets accessible to experimental measurement ? A possible approach via time-resolved interferometry is proposed.
