Talbot effect in holography is being studied. The study has shown that in monochromatic light illumination of a bleached off-axis recorded hologram of a periodic grating, self-images of the grating are reconstructed in the real image region not only in the rays of the ± 1st orders, but also in the zero diffraction order.
This article depicts a general case of recording a grating hologram, with the distance between the object and the hologram being arbitrarily chosen. The universality of this approach does not exclude the possibility of restoring the imaginary and real images of the grating and their self-image sequences. In the case under consideration, restoring the hologram of the grating results in the reconstruction of both imaginary and real grating images and the sequences of their self-images in ± 1st diffraction orders. An important feature of reconstructing a grating hologram is that the self-image sequences for both imaginary and real images extend to the real image area. The ratios derived in the article also show that the restoration of the grating self-image sequences occurs in the 0-th diffraction order.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
