(color online) (a) Electric field spectrum of the proposed structure. Talbot images are created on non-illumination side, with incident wavelength being 632.8 nm, and geometrical parameters being set to be H = 150 nm, h = 20 nm, P = 1220 nm, and α = 0.5. (b) Plots of light intensity versus z for different gap thickness.
