中文摘要：

通过干涉、衍射实验实例，探讨利用Matlab仿真波动光学实验的方法及其仿真结果在教学中的作用．实践表明，在波动光学教学过程中，适当地穿插一些利用Matlab仿真的实验及其结果，能让学生快速地观察到细微复杂而且不易操作和控制的实验现象，对教学质量的提高能起到事半功倍的效果．

英文摘要：

Through the examples of interference and diffraction experiments, we mainly discuss the meth- ods of simulations for the wave optics experiments using Matlab and the teaching effects by using these simulation results. The practice shows that, in the teaching of wave optics, if we use some simulation experiments using Matlab and its results properly, the students will observe the experiment phenomenon which is not only tiny, complex but also difficult to handle and control very fast, so it will get half the work with double results of the improvement of teaching qualities.
