Fraunhofer diffraction patterns of human enamel samples were photographed with a helium-neon laser beam (λ = 633 nm). The first-order diffraction angle was in reasonable agreement with a prediction based upon enamel prisms acting as a two-dimensional grating. These results support the hypothesis that enamel diffracts light because of the periodic structure of enamel prisms with interprismatic spaces, which act as slits.

The laser diffractions phenomenon of surrounding bubbles of lyotropic liquid crystal formed by sodium dodecylsulfonate were investigated with polarized optical microscope and helium-neon laser, respectively. The eleven orders of diffractions can be observed when a beam of helium-neon laser is perpendicularly incident on the surrounding bubbles of lyotropic liquid crystal formed by sodium dodecyl sulfonate. The wavelength of the incident light is 633nm. And we have calculated the periodicity, p, of the grating was 0.211mm, and the small diffraction angle was 0.1146o. So we have simulated the microstructure of surrounding bubbles in the lyotropic liquid crystal formed by sodium dodecyl sulfonate.

The Raman spectra of polycrystalline α-nitrogen and α-carbon monoxide have been recorded at 18 °K, using argon–ion and helium–neon laser excitation. Previously undetected peaks at 60 cm−1 for N2 and 90.5 cm−1 for CO are assigned as librational modes, and splitting of the stretching mode in nitrogen is observed for the first time. Spectral features in both the intramolecular and lattice regions are assigned in accordance with accepted crystal structures, and their frequencies compared with those obtained from calculations based on a spherical Lennard–Jones potential and quadrupole–quadrupole interactions between the molecules.
