Abstract
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.

Ay, Serdar; Gheondea, Aurelian (Instytut Matematyczny PAN, 2019)We consider weakly positive semidefinite kernels valued in ordered ∗-spaces with or without certain topological properties, and investigate their linearisations (Kolmogorov decompositions) as well as their reproducing ... -
Equivalence of linear canonical transform domains to fractional Fourier domains and the bicanonical width product: a generalization of the space-bandwidth product
Oktem, F. S.; Haldun M. Özaktaş (Optical Society of America, 2010-07-30)Linear canonical transforms (LCTs) form a three-parameter family of integral transforms with wide application in optics. We show that LCT domains correspond to scaled fractional Fourier domains and thus to scaled oblique ...
