Effect of Diffraction on Wigner Distributions of Optical Fields and how to Use It in Optical Resonator Theory. III -- Ray Tracing in Resonators
Pierre Pellat-Finet, Éric Fogret
The third part of the paper is devoted to ray tracing in optical resonators. The employed method for dealing with the issue uses the elliptical or hyperbolic rotations that Wigner…

Effect of Diffraction on Wigner Distributions of Optical Fields and how to Use It in Optical Resonator Theory. II -- Unstable Resonators
Pierre Pellat-Finet, Éric Fogret
The second part of the article is devoted to field transfers by diffraction that are represented by fractional Fourier transformations whose orders are complex numbers. The corresp…

Effect of Diffraction on Wigner Distributions of Optical Fields and how to Use It in Optical Resonator Theory. I -- Stable Resonators and Gaussian Beams
Pierre Pellat-Finet, Éric Fogret
The first part of the paper is devoted to diffraction phenomena that can be expressed by fractional Fourier transforms whose orders are real numbers. According to a scalar theory,…
