Abstract
Based on the ambiguity function, the optical phenomena of the double-grating diffraction-interference system are analysed with partially coherent illumination. Different patterns are observed on the observation plane when the optical elements are placed in their proper positions. Detailed discussions on the two extremes of coherence are given. Conclusions could be obtained about the Lau effect, the generalized Lau effect, the incoherent grating-lens imaging, the Talbot effect, the joint-Talbot effect and the generalized joint-Talbot effect. Some special cases are also verified by experiments.
