6. Double slit Simple slit FIG. 4. Light intensity (a), (c) and coincidence rate (b) measured at the image plane of slits illuminated by a classical infrared light source (826 nm) in (a); by the idler beam (826 nm) in (b), with idler and signal being detected in coincidence at the image plane; and by a classical light source in the violet (413 nm) in (c). For these measurement, z´´= 9cm, z´ = 47.5 cm, the slits width are equal 89  m, the dark part of double slit measure 76  m, the lenses width are equal 0.7 mm (in the measurement of simple slit) and 0.65mm (in the measurement of double slite).
