Description

Various classical wave optics experiments carried out with 20 A neutrons on the H-18 facility at I.L.L. are reviewed, namely Fresnel diffraction from a straight edge, single slit and double slit; focusing with zone plates and interferometry by wavefront division. The motivation of the above experiments is discussed and future extensions and applications are proposed
