Fractional order Fourier transform as a tool for analyzing multi-element optical system
نویسنده
چکیده
The ABCD matrix formalism, the Collins formula and the complex amplitude distributions on two spherical surfaces of given curvature and spacing are adapted to the mathematical expression of fractional order Fourier transform. This result provides a general expression as a tool for analyzing complicated systems involving several lenses and mirrors separated by arbitrary distances; for this class of system it is sufficient to specify the ray transfer matrix and the order of fractional Fourier transform to characterize the system completely. 2002 Optical Society of America OCIS codes: (050) Diffraction

Fractional Fourier Transform Based OFDMA for Doubly Dispersive Channels
The performance of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) system degrades significantly in doubly dispersive channels. This is due to the fact that exponential sub-carriers do not match the singular functions of this type of channels. To solve this problem, we develop a system whose sub-carriers are chirp functions. This is equivalent to exploiting Fractional Fourier Transform (F...
متن کاملFractional Fourier optics
There exists a fractional Fourier-transform relation between the amplitude distributions of light on two spherical surfaces of given radii and separation. The propagation of light can be viewed as a process of continual fractional Fourier transformation. As light propagates, its amplitude distribution evolves through fractional transforms of increasing order. This result allows us to pose the f...
متن کاملSimulation 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 کاملFractional Fourier transform as a tool for analyzing beam propagation and spherical mirror resonators.
The complex amplitude distributions on two spherical reference surfaces of given curvature and spacing are simply related by a fractional Fourier transform. The order of the fractional Fourier transform is proportional to the Gouy phase shift between the two surfaces. This result provides new insight into wave propagation and spherical mirror resonators as well as the possibility of exploiting ...
متن کاملSecond-order fractional Fourier transform with incoherent radiation.
Based on the coherent optical theory, we extend the fractional Fourier transform of first-order correlation to a fractional Fourier transform of second-order correlation. An optical system for implementing a second-order fractional Fourier transform was designed. As a numerical example, we investigate the second-order fractional Fourier transform for a single slit.
