Description

The concept of wavepackets is widely used in visualizing the behavior of particles in optical experiments. The length of wavepackets, however, is shown not to be synonymous with coherence length as measured by interferometry. Is the length of wavepackets accessible to experimental measurement. A possible approach via time-resolved interferometry is proposed
