A simple demo is on the table reproducing Young's double slit experiment. First the laser beam is expanded and collimated through 2 simple lenses to form planar wavefronts / straight rays. The expanded and collimated beam then passes through a glass slide with a double slit inked on it. Then the beam propagates to the end of the table where it illuminates a simple screen to show the classic interference pattern.
