Talbot effect

The Talbot effect is a near-field diffraction effect first observed in 1836 by Henry Fox Talbot.〔H. F. Talbot 1836 "Facts relating to optical science" ''No. IV, Philos. Mag. 9''〕 When a plane wave is incident upon a periodic diffraction grating,
the image of the grating is repeated at regular distances away from the grating plane. The regular distance is called the Talbot length, and the repeated images are called self images or Talbot images. Furthermore, at half the Talbot length, a self-image also occurs, but phase-shifted by half a period (the physical meaning of this is that it is laterally shifted by half the width of the grating period). At smaller regular fractions of the Talbot length, sub-images can also be observed. At one quarter of the Talbot length, the self-image is halved in size, and appears with half the period of the grating (thus twice as many images are seen). At one eighth of the Talbot length, the period and size of the images is halved again, and so forth creating a fractal pattern of sub images with ever decreasing size, often referred to as a Talbot carpet.
Lord Rayleigh showed that the Talbot effect was a natural consequence of Fresnel diffraction and that the Talbot length can be found by the following formula:〔Lord Rayleigh 1881 "On copying diffraction gratings and on some phenomenon connected therewith" ''Philos. Mag. 11''〕
:z_T=\frac,
where a is the period of the diffraction grating and \lambda is the wavelength of the light incident on the grating. However, if wavelength \lambda is comparable to grating period a, this expression may lead to errors in z_T up to 100%. In this case the exact expression derived by Lord Rayleigh should be used:
:z_T=\frac }}.
==The atomic Talbot effect==

Due to the quantum mechanical wave nature of particles, diffraction effects have also
been observed with atoms—effects which are similar to those in the case of light.
Chapman ''et al.'' carried out an experiment in which a collimated beam of sodium atoms was passed through two diffraction gratings (the second used as a mask) to observe the Talbot effect and measure the Talbot length. The beam had a mean velocity of corresponding to a de Broglie wavelength of \lambda_ = . Their experiment was performed with 200 and gratings which yielded Talbot lengths of 4.7 and respectively. This showed that for an atomic beam of constant velocity, by using \lambda_, the atomic Talbot length can be found in the same manner.
