Abstract
A systematic analysis has been performed that predicts the existence of
36 cases in which 100% modulated, square-wave irradiance distributions
can be generated in the Fresnel regime by simple binary-phase gratings. These
types of distributions, referred to here as Lohmann images, have been
previously predicted by researchers studying phase gratings known as Talbot
array illuminators. Twenty of the cases are reported, to the best of my
knowledge, for the first time. Sixteen of these new cases result in Lohmann
images with twice the spatial frequency of the original grating. Experimental
verifications of the theoretical predictions are presented.
