20. From the fitting, we found that the ratio of the slit period to the slit width (dis) is 3.3-3.8, whereas it should be 2 for the actual grating we used. This discrepancy is not due to the quantum-mechanical effect, because the same tendency was observed for both biphotons and classical lights. Although the reason for the discrepancy is not clear at present, it might be due to the longitudinal groove pattern of the grating that was printed on a glass plate.
