Talbot effect with Cantor transmittances

We show the Talbot effect for Cantor transmittances, which are obtained as a product superposition of periodic components. The self-images for each periodic component can be superimposed with the self-images or the optical noise corresponding to the remaining components. Due to the integer scaling f...

Description
Summary:	We show the Talbot effect for Cantor transmittances, which are obtained as a product superposition of periodic components. The self-images for each periodic component can be superimposed with the self-images or the optical noise corresponding to the remaining components. Due to the integer scaling factor among periodic components, there are also self-images positions for the complete fractal structure.
