A generalized Collins formula derived by virtue of the displacement-squeezing related squeezed coherent state representation
Chuanmei Xie, Fan Hong-Yi, Shaolong Wan
Based on the displacement-squeezing related squeezed coherent state representation | z⟩ g and using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, this paper finds a generalized Fresnel operator, whose matrix element in the coordinate representation leads to a generalized Collins formula (Huygens–Fresnel integration transformation describing optical diffraction). The generalized Fresnel operator is derived by a quantum mechanical mapping from z to sz - rz * in the | z⟩ g representation, while | z⟩ g in phase space is graphically denoted by an ellipse.
