Abstract

By using the Fresnel operator we derive a multiplication rule for the Collins diffraction formula; the inverse of Collins diffraction integration can also be conveniently derived in this way in the context of quantum optics theory.

Collins diffraction formula studied in quantum optics

Hong-Yi Fan, Lu Hai-Liang

We find that the Collins diffraction formula in cylindrical coordinates is just the transformation matrix element of a three-parameter two-mode squeezing operator in the deduced entangled state representation. This is a new tie connecting the unitary transform in quantum optics to the generalized Hankel transform in Fourier optics. The group multiplication rule of the squeezing operators maps to the Collins formula related to two successive Hankel transforms.

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.

Adaption of Collins formula to fractional Fourier transform studied in the entangled state representation of quantum optics

Liyun Hu, Hong-Yi Fan

Adaption of Collins diffraction formula to the fractional Fourier transform in complex form (FFT-C) is demonstrated in entangled state |η⟩ representation of quantum optics. The additivity property of FFT-C corresponding to Collins formula has been proved by using group multiplication of the Fresnel operator and the quantum mechanical version of the Collins formula.
