We propose a new method for describing phase distributions of nonclassical states in optical systems based on the nonnegative quantum distribution function. A comparison of the proposed method with other known methods such as the Pegg-Barnett and operational ones is given.

The Wigner distribution function applied to optical signals and systems

MJ Martin Bastiaans

In this paper the Wigner distribution function has been introduced for optical signals and systems. The Wigner distribution function of an optical signal appears to be in close resemblance to the ray concept in geometrical optics. This resemblance reaches even farther: although derived from Fourier optics, the Wigner distribution functions of some elementary optical systems can directly be interpreted in terms of geometrical optics.
