Bi-Frequency Pendulum 2: Modeling Apodization, Fourier And Adiabatic Following In Optics

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.
