Abstract
The conditions determining the lateral localization of Fresnel images of a linear binary amplitude grating with respect to the optical axis are derived. The conditions represent the third basic parameter, besides the axial localization and the lateral magnification, characterizing the diffraction images formed by the self-imaging phenomenon.
