Talbot effect in cylindrical waveguides
arXiv:physics/0604057 · doi:10.1016/j.optcom.2006.07.016
Abstract
We extend the theory of Talbot revivals for planar or rectangular geometry to the case of cylindrical waveguides. We derive a list of conditions that are necessary to obtain revivals in cylindrical waveguides. A phase space approach based on the Wigner and the Kirkwood-Rihaczek functions provides a pictorial representation of TM modes interference associated with the Talbot effect.
