Paraxial optical systems implemented entirely with thin lenses and propagation through free space and/or graded index (GRIN) media, are Quadratic Phase Systems (QPS). The effect of any arbitrary QPS on an input wavefield can be described using the linear canonical transform (LCT), a unitary, additive, three-parameter class of linear integral transform. A lens can be considered a thin lens if d << f. ...
The LCT generalizes the Fractional Fourier transform, the Fresnel transform among others. The fractional Fourier transform (FRFT) is a linear transformation generalizing the continuous Fourier transform, and it can be thought of as the Fourier transform to the n-th power where n need not be an integer — thus, it can transform a function to an intermediate domain between time and...
