Abstract

Fourier transforms of fractional order a are defined in a manner such that the common Fourier transform is a special case with order a=1. An optical interpretation is provided in terms of quadratic graded index media and discussed from both wave and ray viewpoints. Fractional Fourier transforms can extend the range of spatial filtering operations.
