Moire fringes by evolute gratings.
Analytical expressions describing the moire fringes formed by two periodic structures consisting of the evolutes of a circle are derived. The circular and radial moire patterns can be formed by contact and noncontact superimposition of the structures. In the latter case the self-imaging phenomenon is used. Experimental verification and proposals for use are given.
