About the aligner distribution of a graded index medium and the fractional fourier transform operation

Abstract

Upon propagation through quadratic graded index media, the Wigner distribution of the wavefunction of light rotates uniformly. As a consequence, a definition of fractional Fourier transforms based on rotating the functions Wigner distribution, and another based on propagation through graded index media, are equivalent.

On the definition of complex fractional Fourier transform

Fan Hong-Yi

In a recent paper of Optics Letter (Fan Hongyi and Lu Hailiang, Optics Letters 28 (2003) 680) the complex fractional Fourier transform (CFFRT) is introduced, which is different from the usual two-dimensional real fractional Fourier transforms. In the present work we illuminate its definition from the point of view of rotation of the complex form of Wigner distributions as well as from the view of optical propagation mechanism in graded-index medium. The newly constructed quantum mechanical entangled state representations are used to link CFFRT to the Wigner distributions.

Adaption of optical Fresnel transform to optical Wigner transform

Cui-hong Lv, Hong-Yi Fan

Enlightened by the algorithmic isomorphism between the rotation of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) and the αth fractional Fourier transform, we show that the optical Fresnel transform performed on the input through an ABCD system makes the output naturally adapting to the associated Wigner transform, i.e. there exists algorithmic isomorphism between ABCD transformation of the WDF and the optical Fresnel transform. We prove this adaption in the context of operator language. Both the single-mode and the two-mode Fresnel operators as the image of classical Fresnel transform are introduced in our discussions, while the two-mode Wigner operator in the entangled state representation is introduced for fitting the two-mode Fresnel operator.

Fractional Radon Transform and Transform of Wigner Operator

Fan Hong-Yi, Junhua Chen

Based on the Radon transform and fractional Fourier transform we introduce the fractional Radon transformation (FRT). We identify the transform kernel for FRT. The FRT of Wigner operator is derived, which naturally reduces to the projector of eigenvector of the rotated quadrature in the usual Radon transform case.

Fractional Fourier transform on the phase-space plane

Spiros Chountasis

Fractional Fourier operators are considered and their properties are studied. Generalized Wigner functions are introduced in terms of products of the displacement operator with the fractional Fourier operator. The properties of this generalized Wigner function are discussed and some numerical examples are presented.

The fractional fourier transform and the wigner distribution

David Mustard

Abstract The Wigner distribution and many other members of the Cohen class of generalized phase-space distributions of a signal all share certain translation properties and the property that their two marginal distributions of energy density along the time and along the frequency axes equal the signal power and the spectral energy density. A natural generalization of this last property is shown to be a certain relationship through the Radon transform between the distribution and the signal's fractional Fourier transform. It is shown that the Wigner distribution is now distinguished by being the only member of the Cohen class that has this generalized property as well as a generalized translation property. The inversion theorem for the Wigner distribution is then extended to yield the fractional Fourier transforms.
