Abstract
It is shown how a coherent optical signal that contains only a finite number of Hermite–Gauss modes can be reconstructed from the knowledge of its Radon–Wigner transform—associated with the intensity distribution in a fractional-Fourier-transform optical system—at only two transversal points. The proposed method can be generalized to any fractional system whose generator transform has a complete orthogonal set of eigenfunctions.
