论文摘要
众所周知，在经典光学元件中，干扰的可见性，在两光束的光线干扰中与两个梁的光学相干性有关。可以使用这种相互连贯性得出波粒二元性关系。在多径干扰的更一般情况下，这里分析了经典光学中波颗粒二元性的问题。引入了干扰可见性和路径区分性的新定义，这导致了多径干扰的二元性关系。可见性显示与新的多点光学相干函数有关。
It is well known that in classical optics, the visibility of interference, in a two-beam light interference, is related to the optical coherence of the two beams. A wave-particle duality relation can be derived using this mutual coherence. The issue of wave-particle duality in classical optics is analyzed here, in the more general context of multipath interference. New definitions of interference visibility and path distinguishability have been introduced, which lead to a duality relation for multipath interference. The visibility is shown to be related to a new multi-point optical coherence function.
