Linear Ray and Wave Optics in Phase Space - Bridging Ray and Wave Optics Via the Wigner Phase-Space Picture

Informationen zum Autor Amalia Torre received her degree in physics at the University of Naples. She is a member of the Theory Group of the Department of Applied Physics at the ENEA Research Center of Frascati, Rome. Her research interests include Free Electron Laser, optics and special functions. She is presently involved in two research projects concerning the Extreme Ultra-Violet Lithography (FIRB project) and the X-ray production via Free Electron Laser operation (SPARC project). Zusammenfassung An introduction to the Wigner optics, which bridges between ray and wave optics, offering the optical phase space as the ambiance and the Wigner function based technique as the mathematical machinery to accommodate between the two opposite extremes of light representation.
