Opto-digital tomographic reconstruction of the Wigner distribution function of complex fields

摘要

An optical-digital method has been developed to obtain the Wigner distribution function of one-dimensional complex fields. In this technique an optical setup is employed to experimentally achieve the Radon-Wigner spectrum of the original signal through intensity measurements. Digital tomographic reconstruction is applied to the experimental spectrum to reconstruct the two-dimensional Wigner distribution function of the input. The validity of our proposal is demonstrated with experimental data, and the results are compared with computer simulations.
