چکیده
In 1836 Henry Fox Talbot, an inventor of photography, published the results of some experiments in optics that he had previously demonstrated at a British Association meeting in Bristol. "It was very curious to observe that though the grating was greatly out of the focus of the lens...the appearance of the bands was perfectly distinct and well defined...the experiments are communicated in the hope that they may prove interesting to the cultivators of optical science." (See photograph.)

Realization of optical carpets in the Talbot and Talbot-Lau configurations.
Talbot and Talbot-Lau effects are frequently used in lensless imaging applications with light, ultrasound, x-rays, atoms and molecules--generally in situations where refractive optical elements are non-existent or not suitable. We here show an experimental visualization of the intriguing wave patterns that are associated with near-field interferometry behind a single periodic diffraction gratin...
متن کاملQuantum revivals and carpets in some exactly solvable systems
We consider the revival properties of quantum systems with an eigenspectrum En ∝ n, and compare them with the simplest member of this class – the infinite square well. In addition to having perfect revivals at integer multiples of the revival time tR, these systems all enjoy perfect fractional revivals at quarterly intervals of tR. A closer examination of the quantum evolution is performed for ...

متن کاملDisodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) application and vacuum cleaning, a combined strategy to control house dust mites.
BACKGROUND The effectiveness of acaricides in homes is controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine whether disodium octaborate tetrahydrate (DOT) combined with vacuuming lowers dust mite numbers and their allergens in carpets and sofas. METHODS A 6-month study was carried out with 93 homes, which were randomized into three groups: (i). active, received DOT; (ii). placebo, received water; and (iii...
متن کاملHigh isolation rates of multidrug-resistant bacteria from water and carpets of mosques
OBJECTIVE There is little information regarding the isolation of antimicrobial-resistant potentially pathogenic bacteria from water and carpets of mosques worldwide. The objective of the present investigation is to determine the bacteriological quality of water and carpets of mosques in Elkhomes city in Libya. METHODS Potentially pathogenic bacteria were isolated from water samples (n=44) and...
