M5-03: LASER DIFFRACTION - OPTICAL CRYSTALS
- ID Code: M5-03
- Purpose: Two dimensional diffraction patterns with crystal symmetries.
- Description: These optical crystals consist of simple arrays of various shaped diffraction centers arranged with several two dimensional symmetries. Diffraction by such a crystal produces a pattern with the symmetry of the scattering slide. Winner of the 1973 AAPT apparatus competition.
