N2  - A revisited realization of the Young?s double slit experiment is introduced to directly probe the photonic
mode symmetry by photoluminescence experiments. We experimentally measure the far field angular
emission pattern of quantum dots embedded in photonic molecules. The experimental data well agree with
predictions from Young?s interference and numerical simulations. Moreover, the vectorial nature of
photonic eigenmodes results in a rather complicated parity property for different polarizations, a feature
which has no counterpart in quantum mechanics.
