A bstract.By manipulating the discrete optical levels inside an optical resonator, we obtain a classical realization of a twisted Landau ± Zener model.We experimentally demonstrate the geometric amplitude factor in the transition amplitude that arises for this model. We consider in particular the region of parameter space addressed in the original study of the geometric amplitude factor by M. V. Berry [7].
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
