A different fractional Fourier order along the orthogonal principal directions is performed. A laboratory experimental system shows preliminary results that demonstrate the proposed theory. Applications such as anamorphic fractional correlation and multiplexing in fractional domains are briefly suggested.EnglishAnamorphic systemsFractional fourier transformOptical signal processingArticle10.1364/AO.34.007451
