Abstract

Talbot self-images localization is important in many optical applications such as interferometry, metrology and nanolithography. Usually, the problem of self-images localization is reduced to the finding the planes of maximal light pattern visibility. There are several conventional techniques that determine the contrast of an intensity distribution generated by a periodical object, such as root mean square (RMS) method, and variogram-based method. In all these cases, a CCD camera is used to record the light patterns that are processed and analyzed in order to find the self-image position. Recently, it has been proposed the use an adaptive photo-detector based on the non-steadystate photo-electromotive force (photo-EMF) effect, which uses periodically oscillating light pattern to induce alternating current through the short-circuited photoconductive sample. Here we perform the theoretical analysis of the technique based on the photo-EMF effect against the conventional methods for the localization of the Talbot patterns.
