Coincidence fractional Fourier transform with a stochastic electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model beam

Based on classical theory of optical coherence and polarization, coincidence fractional Fourier transform (FRT) with a stochastic electromagnetic Gaussian Schell-model (EGSM) beam is investigated. Dependences of the quality and visibility of the coincidence FRT pattern of an object on the degree of polarization and correlation coefficients of the EGSM beam are studied numerically. It is shown that the quality and visibility of the coincidence FRT pattern of an object are determined by the polarization and coherence of the EGSM beam together.

The representation of waist-to-waist transformation of Gaussian beams by the scaled fractional Fourier transform

The beam waist-to-waist transformation of Gaussian beams between input and output reference planes described by the scaled fractional Fourier transform is analyzed in this paper. We obtain the transfer matrix of ABCD optical system that corresponds to the scaled fractional Fourier transform. The results show that the beam waist-to-waist transformation of Gaussian beams can be described by the scaled fractional Fourier transform when the ABCD optical system has a suitable transfer matrix. The relationship between the input and output waist planes and some particular cases when a Gaussian beam passes through a thin lens is also discussed.     

Propagation properties of Gaussian beams through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture

As known, it is important for the propagation of Gaussian beams in optics. In this paper, based on the expanding a hard-edge circular aperture function as a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions and the scalar Rayleigh-Sommerfeld diffraction formula, an approximation analytical solution for Gaussian beams propagating through the anamorphic fractional Fourier transform system with an eccentric circular aperture is performed. Then, the detailed numerical calculation for the two-dimensional Gaussian beams in the above-mentioned optical system is presented. The simulation also shows that different location and size of aperture result in the change of diffracted field, including location, intensity and width. All these characteristics help us understand Gaussian beams propagation better.

Detailed numerical calculation results are given and compared with the previous work.     

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.     

Joint extended fractional Fourier transform correlator

Based on the conventional correlation and fractional correlation, the extended fractional correlation (EFC) is presented. And based on the configuration of the nonconventional joint transform correlator, we propose the joint extended fractional Fourier transform correlator (JEFRTC). The properties of the extended fractional cross correlation peak (EFCCP) in theory are analyzed. A sound conclusion is drawn that the width of EFCCP is narrower than that of fractional correlation peak under some conditions. This JEFRTC can permit lower precision of the systemic parameters when implemented with optical configuration. That will improve correlator’s character discriminability.     

Propagation properties of cosh-squared-Gaussian beam through fractional Fourier transform systems

Based on Collins integral formula and the fact that a hard aperture function can be expanded into a finite sum of complex Gaussian functions, the propagation properties of cosh-squared-Gaussian beam passing through ideal and apertured FRFT systems have been studied, and some comparisons between using the methods of analytical formula and diffraction integral formula have been done. Further, the studies indicate that the normalized intensity distributions on FRFT plane depend on the fractional order, truncation parameter and initial beam parameter Ω. Variations of normalized intensity distributions with FRFT order are periodic: when the impact of aperture cannot be ignored, the variation period is 4; and when the impact of aperture can be ignored, the variation period is 2.

Changes in the spectrum of Gaussian Schell-model beams propagating through turbulent atmosphere

Based on the extended Huygens-Fresnel principle, the spectrum of Gaussian Schell-model (GSM) beams propagating through turbulent atmosphere is derived analytically. It is shown that, if the scaling law is valid, the normalized spectrum S(ω) of GSM beams propagating through turbulent atmosphere is the same as the normalized source spectrum S⁽⁰⁾(ω), whether GSM source is quasi-homogenous or not. On the other hand, if the scaling law fails, S(ω) of GSM is different from S⁽⁰⁾(ω). The structure constant of the refractive index, transverse coordinate of observation point and spatial correlation length of the source affect the spectrum, which is illustrated numerically.     

High order generalized permutational fractional Fourier transforms

We generalize the definition of the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) by extending the new definition proposed by Shih. The generalized FRFT, called the high order generalized permutational fractional Fourier transform (HGPFRFT), is a generalized permutational transform. It is shown to have arbitrary natural number M periodic eigenvalues not only with respect to the order of Hermite－Gaussian functions but also to the order of the transform. This HGPFRFT will be reduced to the original FRFT proposed by Namias and Liu's generalized FRFT and Shih's FRFT at the three limits with M=+∞, M=4k(k is a natural number), and M=4, respectively. Therefore the HGPFRFT introduces a comprehensive approach to Shih's FRFT and the original definition. Some important properties of HGPFRFT are discussed. Lastly the results of computer simulations and symbolic representations of the transform are provided.     

Experimental determination of Hurst exponent of the self-affine fractal patterns with optical fractional Fourier transform

The extension of ordinary Fourier transform to the fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) was first accomplished by Namias in 1980. He gave a complete mathematical definition and discussed the eigenfunction of the transform. Using a system of lenses Lohmann et al.[1] first successfully realized the FRFT optically and designed the single lens mode and double lens mode for the realization of the FRFT of continuously variable fractional order. The concept of fractals was first proposed by Man…

A displacement measurement technology based on joint fractional Fourier transform is firstly proposed. Contrast to conventional displacement measurement based on joint Fourier transform correlator, the position of cross correlation peak in the proposed technology could be fixed arbitrarily according to the order of fractional Fourier transform. The optical setup in the proposed technology is more flexible and easier to implement. Simulation and experiment results are given out to verify the analysis.
