A comprehensive cross section of phase-space optics

This definitive volume highlights an elegant, unified approach to optical rays, waves, and system design using cutting-edge phase-space techniques. Phase-Space Optics: Fundamentals and Applications details theoretical concepts of phase space as well as novel engineering applications in specific disciplines. This authoritative guide includes full coverage of sampling, superresolution imaging, and the phase-space interpretation of ultrafast optics. Work with Wigner optics, analyze phase-space equations, develop wave propagation models, and gain a new understanding of optical sources and systems. Discover how to:

Describe optical phenomena using Wigner and ambiguity functions
Perform phase-space rotations using ray transformation matrices
Influence the trade-off between pupil size and depth of field
Analyze and design optical signals using the Radon-Wigner transform
Accomplish superresolution by squeezing phase space
Interpret the intimate relationship between radiometry and coherence
Use basic algebra to discover self-imaging, Fresnel diffraction, and the Talbot effect
Develop discrete models, sampling criteria, and interpolation formulae
Work with ultrafast processes and complex space-time structures
