Abstract
We extend the theory of Talbot revivals for planar or rectangular geometry to the case of cylindrical waveguides. We derive a list of conditions that are necessary to obtain revivals in cylindrical geometry. A phase space approach based on the Wigner and the Kirkwood-Rihaczek functions provides a pictorial representation of interference phenomena that lead to the Talbot effect.
