Fractional Fourier transformers through reflection

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We show that an arbitrary paraxial optical system, compounded with its reflection in an appropriately warped mirror, is a pure fractional Fourier transformer between coincident input and output planes. The geometric action of reflection on optical systems is introduced axiomatically and is developed in the paraxial regime. The correction of aberrations by warp of the mirror is briefly addressed.
