Metaxial correction of fractional Fourier transformers

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We study fractional Fourier transformation in the metaxial regime of geometric optics. Two commonly used optical arrangements that perform fractional Fourier transformation are a symmetric thick lens and a length of graded-index waveguide. By means of Lie methods in phase space, we can correct some of their aberrations: for the first, through deforming the lens surfaces to a polynomial shape, and for the second, by warping the output screen at the end of the waveguide. We correct the planar cases to third, fifth, and seventh aberration orders; checks are provided on the convergence of aberration series in phase space. We add some comments on the usefulness of these corrected devices for fractional transformers in scalar wave optics.
