Abstract
By manipulating the discrete optical levels inside an optical resonato r, we obtain a classical realization of a twisted Landau-Zener model. We experimentally demonstrate the geometric amplitude factor in the tr ansition amplitude that arises for this model. We consider in particul ar the region of parameter space addressed in the original study of th e geometric amplitude factor by M. V. Berry [7].
