Wigner function for nonparaxial wave fields

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The generalized optical transfer function and the spectral correlation function are investigated for nonparaxial two-dimensional wave fields. The angle-impact marginal of the four-dimensional Wigner function is derived directly. For focused wave fields of semiangle greater than 90°, the spectral correlation function exhibits overlapping and interference. For focused wave fields for which the semiangle is known to be less than 180°, the magnitude and phase can be recovered directly from knowledge of the intensity in the focal region.
