====== Poisson Spot ====== {{:physicsdemos:waves_and_optics:diffraction:poisson_spot_1.jpeg?400|}} {{:physicsdemos:waves_and_optics:diffraction:poisson_spot_2.jpeg?400|}} An opaque disk placed in the path of a spatially-filtered laser beam casts a bright spot in the center of its shadow. A diffraction pattern consisting of a series of concentric rings is also visible since the incident light is monochromatic. L0, L1 PIRA DCS 6C20.10
