Photon Beam Transmission Through Microstructures

Abstract:

At present there are many researches and forums concerning the dimensions of photon. The discussions are very active, there are many hypothesis and there is no univocal conclusion. We decided to approach the problem experimentally, trying to give an answer to the question: what is the possibly smallest size of microbore/microgap the photon can’t pass through. In these experiments the specially formed single photon beam was directed on the microstructure and the number of photons passing through was measured. Also we experimented with the photon size using Mach-Zender interferometer.
