Space and spectral behaviour of optical systems under broadband illumination by using a Wigner distribution function approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The on-axis image irradiance obtained from a radially symmetric optical system under broadband illumination is analysed in the phase-space domain of the Wigner distribution function associated with a modified one-dimensional pupil aperture. To this end, a coordinate transformation is employed in such a way that the varying on-axis irradiance can be derived from different slices of a two-dimensional Wigner distribution function, which involve both the defocus distance and the dispersion properties of the optical system. The method is illustrated by comparing the imaging performance of four different pupil apertures, when the system is illuminated with a light beam having a gaussian spectral content. 2002 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.

Volume holographic pupils in ray, wave, statistical optics, and Wigner space
This thesis explores various aspects of the volume holographic pupils to better understand and implement multi–dimensional imaging. A full description and applications of volume holographic pupils are presented in ray, wave, statistical optics, and Wigner space. Volume holograms have both a shift variant nature and multiplex capability, which can efficiently extract specific information of mult...
متن کاملWigner distribution transformations in high-order systems
By combining the definition of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) and the matrix method of optical system modeling, we can evaluate the transformation of the former in centered systems with great complexity. The effect of stops and lens diameter are also considered and are shown to be responsible for non-linear clipping of the resulting WDF in the case of coherent illumination and non-linea...
متن کاملWigner formulation of optical processing with light of arbitrary coherence.
A unified mathematical formulation for designing and analyzing even the most general optical processor is presented. It exploits the Wigner distribution function to characterize the illumination, the input, the inherent filter, and the output results. To characterize the propagation of the light through the optical processor setup, we exploit the Wigner matrix formalism, which is appealing beca...
متن کاملPhase-space representation of non-classical behaviour of scalar wave-fields
The modelling of optical fields by using radiant and virtual point sources for the spatial coherence wavelets in the phase-space representation evidences some effects, conventionally attributed to non-classical correlations of light, although such type of correlations are not explicitly included in the model. Specifically, a light state is produced that has similar morphology to the Wigner Dist...
متن کاملSingle-Carrier Frequency-Domain Equalization for Orthogonal STBC over Frequency-Selective MIMO-PLC channels
In this paper we propose a new space diversity scheme for broadband PLC systems using orthogonal space-time block coding (OSTBC) transmission combined with single-carrier frequency-domain equalization (SC-FDE). To apply this diversity technique to PLC channels, we first propose a new technique for combining SC-FDE with OSTBCs applicable to all dispersive multipath channels impaired by impulsive...
