چکیده
The linear transform kernel for fractional Fourier transforms is derived. The spatial resolution and the space-bandwidth product for propagation in graded-index media are discussed in direct relation to fractional Fourier transforms, and numerical examples are presented. It is shown how fractional Fourier transforms can be made the basis of generalized spatial filtering systems: Several filters are interleaved between several fractional transform stages, thereby increasing the number of degrees of freedom available in filter synthesis.

Simulation of an Airy Beam with Optical Vortex under Fractional Fourier Transforms
First, this study obtained the fields of an Airy beam (AiB) with optical vortex (OV) for a Fourier transform (FT) system and a fractional Fourier transform (fractional FT) system; thereafter, their intensity and phase patterns were simulated numerically. The splitting on each line of the phase pattern indicates the position of an OV. The results show that the OV position will change when the po...
متن کاملImplementation of quantum and classical discrete fractional Fourier transforms
Fourier transforms, integer and fractional, are ubiquitous mathematical tools in basic and applied science. Certainly, since the ordinary Fourier transform is merely a particular case of a continuous set of fractional Fourier domains, every property and application of the ordinary Fourier transform becomes a special case of the fractional Fourier transform. Despite the great practical importanc...
متن کاملFractional Transforms in Optical Information Processing
We review the progress achieved in optical information processing during the last decade by applying fractional linear integral transforms. The fractional Fourier transform and its applications for phase retrieval, beam characterization, space-variant pattern recognition, adaptive filter design, encryption, watermarking, and so forth is discussed in detail. A general algorithm for the fractiona...
متن کاملOptical implementation of the two-dimensional fractional Fourier transform with different orders in the two dimensions
Previous optical implementations of the two-dimensional fractional Fourier transform have assumed identical transform orders in both dimensions. We let the orders in the two orthogonal dimensions to be different and present general design formulae for optically implementing such transforms. This design formulae allows us to specify the two orders and the input, output scale parameters simultane...
متن کاملConvolution, filtering, and multiplexing in fractional Fourier domains and their relation to chirp and wavelet transforms
A concise introduction to the concept of fractional Fourier transforms is followed by a discussion of their relation to chirp and wavelet transforms. The notion of fractional Fourier domains is developed in conjunction with the Wigner distribution of a signal. Convolution, filtering, and multiplexing of signals in fractional domains are discussed, revealing that under certain conditions one can...
