For the iterative phase retrieval, multiple measured intensity images in output plane are only considered for accelerating the convergence. The amplitude and phase at the observed object plane of measurement system are unknown in this research. The observing system is composed of gyrator transform, in which several images are recorded by using several transform angles for the same input image. An amplitude-phase retrieval scheme is designed and tested. The numerical simulations have demonstrated that the amplitude and phase pattern within a very small error (less than 0.04 and 0.0005 for an 8-bit two-dimensional data) can be recovered after 1000 iterations.

The Wigner distribution function is a convenient way to describe image transformations in optical systems: spatial shearing, spatial frequency shearing, circular rotation, hyperbolic rotation, etc. The hyperbolic rotation can be represented as scaling of the Wigner distribution function with a separate scale factor for each axis direction. It is shown that if an optical system with positive lenses provides circular rotation of the WDF in the phase plane, with negative lenses it will provide hyperbolic rotation of the WDF function in this phase plane.

We derived the analytical expression for the propagation of Airy-related beams generated from flattopped Gaussian beams through an abcd optical system, and use it to study the propagation of this type of beams through a chiral slab. Several influence factors, such as the optical beams order N and the chiral parameter gamma of the chiral medium, on the beam propagation properties both in near- and far-zones are discussed in detail. It is shown that the Airy tails of high order beams decay more quickly than those of low order beams in the chiral medium;the constructive interference effect between the LCP (left-circularly polarized) and RCP (right-circularly polarized) beams becomes more significant as the chiral parameter gamma increases;the LCP and RCP beams are not separated in the near-zone, while the two beams are obviously separated in the far-zone, and accordingly the interference peaks decrease as the propagation distance increases in the chiral slab.

We derive a diffraction integral to describe the paraxial propagation of an optical beam in a graded index medium with the permittivity linearly varying with the transverse coordinate. This integral transformation is irreducible to the familiar abcd transformation. The form of the integral transformation suggests that, unlike a straight path in a homogeneous space, any paraxial optical beam will travel on a parabola bent toward the denser medium. By way of illustration, an explicit expression for the complex amplitude of a Hermite-Gaussian beam in the linear index medium is derived. (C) 2014 Optical Society of America

The two-dimensional (2D) nonseparable linear canonical transform (NS-LCT) is a unitary, linear integral transform that relates the input and output monochromatic, paraxial scalar wave fields of optical systems characterized by a 4 x 4 ray tracing matrix. In addition to the obvious generalizations of the 1D LCT (which are referred to as separable), the 2D-NS-LCT can represent a variety of nonaxially symmetric optical systems including the gyrator transform and image rotation. Unlike the 1D LCT, the numerical approximation of the 2D-NS-LCT has not yet received extensive attention in the literature. In this paper, (1) we develop a sampling theorem for the general 2D-NS-LCT which generalizes previously published sampling theorems for the 1D case and (2) we determine which sampling rates may be chosen to ensure that the obvious discrete transform is unitary.

Signal reconstruction, especially for nonstationary signals, occurs in many applications such as optical astronomy, electron microscopy, and x-ray crystallography. As a potent tool to analyze the nonstationary signals, the linear canonical transform (LCT) describes the effect of quadratic phase systems on a wavefield and generalizes many optical transforms. The reconstruction of a finite discrete-time signal from the partial information of its discrete LCT and some known samples under some restrictions is presented. The partial information about its discrete LCT that we have assumed to be available is the discrete LCT phase alone or the discrete LCT magnitude alone. Besides, a reconstruction example is provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. (C) The Authors. Published by SPIE under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

Analytic signal and Hilbert transform associated with linear canonical transform (LCT) have been developed [Opt. Commun. 281, 1468 (2008)]. However, the aforementioned paper has some drawbacks;for example, this kind of analytic signal cannot preserve the positive frequency bands of the original signal under LCT operations. In this paper, these drawbacks are pointed out, and a better definition for analytic signal associated with LCT is proposed. In addition, a discrete implementation for the analytic signal associated with discrete LCT is also provided. Several numerical examples, shown with both time and Wigner time-frequency domains, are demonstrated to illustrate the efficiency and accuracy of the proposed LCT analytic signal.

We show how to explicitly determine the space-frequency window (phase-space window) for optical systems consisting of an arbitrary sequence of lenses and apertures separated by arbitrary lengths of free space. If the space-frequency support of a signal lies completely within this window, the signal passes without information loss. When it does not, the parts that lie within the window pass and the parts that lie outside of the window are blocked, a result that is valid to a good degree of approximation for many systems of practical interest. Also, the maximum number of degrees of freedom that can pass through the system is given by the area of its space-frequency window. These intuitive results provide insight and guidance into the behavior and design of systems involving multiple apertures and can help minimize information loss. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America

A theoretical model is proposed to describe a novel vortex beam named anomalous vortex (AV) beam. Analytical propagation formula for the proposed beam passing through a paraxial abcd optical system is derived, and the propagation properties of such beam in free space are studied numerically. It is interesting to find that an AV beam will eventually become an elegant Laguerre-Gaussian beam in the far field (or in the focal plane) in free space. Furthermore, we report experimental generation of an AV beam and measure its propagation properties. Our experimental results are consistent with the theoretical predictions.

The linear canonical transform (LCT) with a, b, c, d parameter plays an important role in quantum mechanics, optics, and signal processing. The eigenfunctions of the LCT are also important because they describe the self-imaging phenomenon in optical systems. However, the existing solutions for the eigenfunctions of the LCT are divided into many cases and they lack a systematic way to solve these eigenfunctions. In this paper, we find a linear, second-order, self-adjoint differential commuting operator that commutes with the LCT operator. Hence, the commuting operator and the LCT share the same eigenfunctions with different eigenvalues. The commuting operator is very general and simple when it is compared to the existing multiple-parameter differential equations. Then, the eigenfunctions can be derived systematically. The eigenvalues of the commuting operator have closed-form relationships with the eigenvalues of the LCT. We also simplify the eigenfunctions for vertical bar a + d vertical bar > 2 and a + d = +/- 2, b not equal 0 into the more compact closed form instead of the integral form. For vertical bar a + d vertical bar > 2, the eigenfunctions are related to the parabolic cylinder functions. (C) 2013 Optical Society of America
