RT Journal Article T1 Talbot effect with rough reflection gratings A1 Torcal Milla, Francisco José A1 Sánchez Brea, Luis Miguel A1 Bernabeu Martínez, Eusebio AB The Talbot effect is analyzed when steel tape gratings are used. These gratings are made on a steel substrate, and, because of the manufacture process, both levels of the grating are rough with different roughness parameters. A theoretical analysis based on Fresnel regime, which considers the statistical properties of roughness, is developed. Analytical formulas that show a decreasing exponential dependence on the intensity in terms of the distance between the grating and the observation plane are obtained, and an experimental verification is also performed.
