4. Continuously self-imaging objects
The self-imaging effect or Talbot effect was generalized by Montgomery in 1967 . who specified the conditions that must be verified by an object, whether periodic or not, in order to be self-imaging.
Particular self-imaging objects were then described by Durnin in 1987 : such components, called continuously self-imaging or non-diffracting, produce a field propagating in space with a very high degree of confinement and no dispersion along the...

The study of binary optics is an old discipline and belongs to the toolbox of the researcher/engineer who can revisit these concepts according to his or her application needs. The bulk of current work in photolithography is in the field of nanotechnology and plasmonics, which are not covered in this article. The teams mentioned below have published articles that inspired this article, or have carried out work known to the authors....
