Bi-frequency pendulum 2: modeling apodization, Fourier and adiabatic following in optics
Paper Abstract
Teaching optical phenomena with the use of analogies to the motion of bi-frequency pendulum on a rotary platform is described. Adiabatic following in liquid crystals and in quantum mechanics is visualized. Particular examples include also diffraction by an edge and Fourier properties of a step function.
