Abstract

The propagation law of the Wigner distribution function in the first-order non-orthogonal optical systems is described by using the linear canonical transform integral. The Wigner matrices for the usual optical components (free space, spherical and cylindrical lenses, and linear phase filter) are presented in four-dimensional phase space domain. Then with Wigner algebra, we analyze basic and more general optical configurations for performing a set of linear unitary coordinate transformations. These configurations are comprised of refractive spherical and cylindrical lenses that are readily available.
