Abstract
It is well known that in Talbot imaging the so called autoimages are reproduced with unit magnification with a constant axial separation known as Raleigh's distance. When the incident wavefront is not flat but spherical, the autoimages are reproduced with magnification. The purpose of this paper is to show that in this second case the images are also curved, with a radius of curvature that depends on the curvature of the incident wavefront.
