Higher-order moments of the Wigner distribution function in first-order optical systems

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

For higher-order moment matrices of a light distribution, combinations of moment matrices and the antisymmetric J matrix can be found for each order such that these combinations satisfy a similarity transformation at propagation through first-order optical systems. The similarity transformations for higher-order moment matrices of a light distribution are identified, and some properties of their invariant eigenvalues are discussed.
