Schematic representation of the experimental setup for a. verification of tunable Talbot length and measurement of small change in the grating period of the object using paraxial Talbot effect, and b. measurement of the effective focal length of thick less using the non-paraxial Talbot effect. Inline graphic and Inline graphic are lenses of focal lengths, Inline graphic and Inline graphic, respectively. d is the position of the object away from the back focal plane of the lens, Inline graphic. The objects are gratings. The collection of diffraction orders, − 1, 0, and +1, is due to the limited aperture of the lens, Inline graphic at large diffraction angle of the small grating periods. Such collection limits the image resolution. Inset: light carpet measured in the experiments.
