Abstract

A variation of the interference experiment on the single photon has been performed. By means of a mechanical effect, we change the frequency of the photon only on one arm of a Mach-Zender interferometer. We observe the beat signals even when the intensity is so small that only one photon at a time passes through the interferometer. Our experiment gives a further proof of the classical behaviour of the electromagnetic radiation at arbitrarily small intensity, in agreement with the probabilistic interpretation of quantum mechanics.
