Abstract
The Talbot effect, consisting of a series of self-images in planes beyond a grating illuminated by coherent light, is well known in optics and has received wide attention. Fundamental properties and many practical applications of the Talbot effect in a homogeneous medium have been considered [7.1–7.10]. The Talbot effect has also been studied in the context of atom optics because of similarities between the Schrodinger and the paraxial wave equations [7.11–7.12]. Likewise, the self-imaging phenomenon, in general, can be treated as a superposition of a proper set of modes in either free space or inhomogeneous media [7.13].
