SC252 The Phase-Space Diagram: A New Paradigm for Analyzing Optical Signals and Systems

Markus Testorf1, Jorge Ojeda-Castañeda2; 1Dartmouth College, USA, 2Univ. de Guanajuato, Mexico



• Translate conventional signal representations into phase-space and particularly into phase-space diagrams.

• Associate simple optical elements with the corresponding phase-space transform. • Know the phase-space representation of signals which are important in optics. • Summarize the limitations of phase-space optics. • Analyze paraxial optical systems and their response in terms of phase-space diagrams. • List at least five applications for which phase-space diagrams are beneficial. • Derive the phase-space diagram for a composite optical system from its generic

components. • Describe the relationship between signal descriptions in optics based phase-space

concepts.

Intended Audience The course is intended for graduate students and professionals who have some optics background and who want to familiarize themselves with the concepts of phase-space optics and diagrams. The content should be comprehensible for anybody working on optics-related research and development projects. While the course is largely designed without prerequisites, basic knowledge of Fourier optics or signal and systems theory is recommended. The course is not recommended for a non-technical audience.

Course Description The terms joint time-frequency transformation and local frequency spectrum refer to mathematical tools for dealing with the inevitable tradeoff between two physical variables that form a Fourier transform pair. The first term is commonly used in signal processing; the latter term is employed for analyzing physical systems. For applications in optical sciences, we denote this type of tools as a phase-space representation, or as the Wigner distribution function. We show the signal representation in the phase-space domain not only facilitates the separation of different signal components, but also contains information about the evolution of the optical wave as it propagates through an optical system. Fundamental properties, such as geometrical optics invariants, which are useful when describing the light gathering power of optical instruments, as well as the space bandwidth-product, are intimately related to the phase-space representation of optical signals and systems.

This Short Course introduces optical phase space as a natural representation of optical rays. Based on heuristic arguments, the phase-space representation of optical signals is modified in several steps to incorporate the terminologies of radiometry and Fourier optics. From this exploration the Wigner distribution function emerges as central joint transform, which is subsequently used to develop a signal and system theory based on phase-space representations. We also discuss an alternative motivation for a phase-space description which takes Fourier optics as its starting point and which leads to the signal representation in terms of the Ambiguity function. A significant part of the course is devoted to applications of phase-space optics, including the design of novel imaging devices extending the depth of field of an imaging system, as well as phase retrieval and signal recovery.

Biography Markus Testorf received his doctorate in physics from the Univ. of Erlangen in Germany. He has worked at the Natl. Inst. of Astrophysics, Optics and Electronics in Puebla, Mexico; at the Univ. of Hagen in Germany; and at the Univ. of Massachusetts-Lowell.

He has written or co-authored more than 130 articles and conference proceedings, including numerous articles related to phase-space concepts in optics and electromagnetism. Testorf has taught undergraduate- and graduate-level optics courses for a number of years, which has allowed him to gain experience with the use of phase-space concepts for optics education. Jorge Ojeda-Castañeda earned his doctorate in applied optics, under the supervision of H. H. Hopkins, F.R.S., at Univ. of Reading, UK. He has written more than 200 papers in academic journals and conference proceedings. He has acted as invited speaker at more than 30 international meetings on optics. For more than 25 years, he has been teaching courses in physics and mathematics at both graduate and

undergraduate levels. In many of his oral and written contributions, he has pioneered the use of phase-space representations for extending the field of view of optical systems.

SC274 Polarization Engineering

Russell Chipman; Univ. of Arizona, USA



• Understand how to follow the polarization changes along a ray path through a series of lenses, mirrors, polarization elements and anisotropic materials.

• Learn to calculate the Jones matrices for ray paths through sequences of thin film coated optical elements and interpret the “instrumental polarization” or polarization aberrations associated with ray paths.

• Understand how polarization state dependent point spread functions and modulation transfer functions are calculated.

• Visualize the Maltese cross, linear polarization tilt, and other fundamental polarization aberration pattern which occur in many systems and picture configurations like the crossed folding mirror which reduce polarization aberrations.

• Develop appropriate polarization specifications for optical systems.

Intended Audience This class is intended for optical engineers, scientists and managers who need to understand and apply polarization concepts to optical systems. Some prior exposure to optical design programs and to linear algebra would be helpful.

Course Description This course provides a survey of issues associated with calculating polarization effects in optical systems using optical design programs. Many optical systems are polarization critical and require careful attention to polarization issues. Such systems include liquid crystal projectors, imaging with active laser illumination, very high numerical aperture optical systems in microlithography and data storage, DVD players, imaging into tissue and turbid media, optical coherence tomography and interferometers. Polarization effects are complex: Retardance has three degrees of freedom; diattenuation (partial polarization) has three degrees of freedom; and depolarization, the coupling of polarized into partially polarized light, has nine degrees of freedom. Due to this complexity, polarization components and the polarization performance of optical systems are rarely completely specified.

The polarization aberrations introduced by thin films and uniaxial crystals can be readily evaluated in several commercial optical design codes. These routines are complex and most optical engineers are unfamiliar with the capabilities and the forms of output, but these polarization ray tracing routines provide better methods to communicate polarization

performance and specifications between different groups teamed on complex optical problems. Better means of technical communication speed the development of complex systems.

The course emphasizes the practical aspects of polarization elements and polarization measurements. The basic mathematics of the Poincare sphere, Stokes vectors and Mueller matrices are presented and applied to describe polarized light and polarization elements. Polarizers and retarders are introduced and their principal uses explained. The nonideal characteristics of polarization elements, liquid crystals and birefringent films are discussed with examples.

Biography Russell Chipman is a professor of optical sciences at the Univ. of Arizona in Tucson. He runs the Polarization Laboratory, which performs measurements and simulations of polarization elements, liquid crystals and polarization aberrations. He managed optics departments at JDS Uniphase and Johnson & Johnson and was also a physics professor at the Univ. of Alabama at Huntsville. He has developed many unique spectropolarimeters and imaging polarimeters and conducted studies into polarization in fiber components, waveguides, liquid crystals, polarization elements and natural polarization signatures. He holds 12 patents in optics. He received his B.S. from MIT and Ph.D. in optical science from the Univ. of Arizona. Chipman is a Fellow of OSA and SPIE and a topical editor for Applied Optics. He chairs the Polarization Engineering group within OSA.

SC303 Lighting and Illumination

William Cassarly; Optical Res. Associates, USA



• Define the meaning of luminance, intensity, illuminance and etendue. • Compare the output characteristics of commonly used incoherent sources. • Describe the principles for obtaining uniformity using mixing rods. • Discuss the use of simulations to quantify the output of illumination systems. • Compare different approaches used to obtain uniformity in lighting systems.

Intended Audience Individuals who design illumination systems or need to interface with those designers will find this course appropriate. Previous exposure to optical fundamentals (reflection, refraction, lenses, reflectors) is expected.

Course Description Lighting and illumination have received much attention in recent years because of advances in sources, especially LEDs. The design of lighting and illumination systems requires balancing

uniformity, collection efficiency and packaging requirements. Some of the fundamental building blocks for illumination system design include an understanding of etendue and the design principles behind lightpipes, lens arrays, faceted optics and diffusers. In this Short Course, these building blocks are discussed through a combination of compute simulations, hardware demonstrations and in-depth discussions.

Biography William Cassarly is a driving force in the movement to develop the field of computer-aided illumination engineering. His efforts include illumination optimization, illumination engineering consulting, papers, talks and educational course development. Some highlights of his efforts include two SPIE illumination courses, submitting the winning solution for the 2006 IODC Illumination Design Problem, and authoring a chapter in the OSA Handbook of Optics on Illumination Engineering.
