    • About the Wigner distribution of a graded index medium and the fractional fourier transform operation 

      Özaktaş, Haldun M.; Mendlovic, D.; Lohmann, A. W. (SPIE, 1993-08)
      Upon propagation through quadratic graded index media, the Wigner distribution of the wavefunction of light rotates uniformly. As a consequence, a definition of fractional Fourier transforms based on rotating the functions ...

    • Chirp filtering in the fractional Fourier domain 

      Dorsch, R. G.; Lohmann, A. W.; Bitran, Y.; Mendlovic, D.; Özaktaş, Haldun M. (Optical Society of America, 1994-11-10)
      In the Wigner domain of a one-dimensional function, a certain chirp term represents a rotated line delta function. On the other hand, a fractional Fourier transform (FRT) can be associated with a rotation of the ...

      Mendlovic, D.; Melamed, O.; Özaktaş, Haldun M. (Optical Society of America, 1995)
      Optical signal processing can be done with time-lens devices. A temporal processor based on chirp-z transformers is suggested. This configuration is more compact than a conventional 4-f temporal processor. On the basis of ...

      Özaktaş, Haldun M.; Barshan, B.; Mendlovic, D. (Springer-Verlag, 1994)
      Fractional Fourier transforms, which are related to chirp and wavelet transforms, lead to the notion of fractional Fourier domains. The concept of filtering of signals in fractional domains is developed, revealing that ...
