Wigner Transforms and Fractional Fourier Transforms of the First Order Optical Systems

Based on the Collins formula, the relationship between the coordinate transform matrix (WCTM) of the Wigner distribution function (WDF) and the ray transfer matrix (RTM) of an arbitrary first-order optical system has been derived. By using this relation and the definition of fractional Fourier transform (FRT) in terms of WDF rotation, it is concluded that an arbitrary first-order optical system can be generally decomposed into a thin lens and a FRT sub-system whose order is not unique and depends on two concrete decomposing operations on the system. And when the system is reciprocally symmetric, a FRT can be implemented by it. In addition, the composition, that is also the decomposition condition of the complicated FRT optical system by cascading a series of FRT subsystems has also been derived by using the operations of RTM.

Fractional Fourier transform for partially coherent beam in spatial-frequency domain

By using Fourier transform and the tensor analysis method, the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) in the spatial-frequency domain for partially coherent beams is derived. Based on the FRT in the spatial-frequency domain, an analytical transform formula is derived for a partially coherent twisted anisotropic Gaussian－Schell model (GSM) beam passing through the FRT system. The connections between the FRT formula and the generalized diffraction integral formulae for partially coherent beams through an aligned optical system and a misaligned optical system in the spatial-frequency domain are discussed, separately. By using the derived formula, the intensity distribution of partially coherent twisted anisotropic GSM beams in the FRT plane are studied in detail. The formula derived provide a convenient tool for analysing and calculating the FRTs of the partially coherent beams in spatial-frequency domain.

Sixth-order coincidence fractional Fourier transform implemented with partially coherent light

The sixth-order coincidence fractional Fourier transform (FRT) with incoherent and partially coherent light is introduced as an extension of the recently introduced fourth-order coincidence FRT. An optical system for implementing sixth-order coincidence FRT is designed. It is found that the visibility of the sixth-order coincidence FRT pattern of an object is always much higher than that of the fourth-order coincidence FRT pattern. The visibility is closely related to the transverse width and the transverse coherence length of the light source and also depends on the fractional order of the optical system.

Image encryption based on extended fractional Fourier transform and digital holography technique

We present a new optical image encryption algorithm that is based on extended fractional Fourier transform (FRT) and digital holography technique. We can perform the encryption and decryption with more parameters compared with earlier similar methods in FRT domain. In the extended FRT encryption system, the input data to be encrypted is extended fractional Fourier transformed two times and random phase mask is placed at the output plane of the first extended FRT. By use of an interference with a wave from another random phase mask, the encrypted data is stored as a digital hologram. The data retrieval is operated by all-digital means. Computer simulations are presented to verify its validity and efficiency.

A simple two ordinary lens system is proposed to realize the fractional Fourier transform (FRT) of continuously variable order while keeping the scaling factors of both the input and output functions as the same constant independent of the geometric parameters of the system and the FRT orders. It can remove the necessity and inconvenience of using input masks of different scales or any other special devices, and then is helpful to those who want to observe the FRT but have no specific facilities.
