Wigner Distribution Moments Measured as Intensity Moments in Separable First-Order Optical Systems

Abstract

It is shown how all global Wigner distribution moments of arbitrary order can be measured as intensity moments in the output plane of an appropriate number of separable first-order optical systems (generally anamorphic ones). The minimum number of such systems that are needed for the determination of these moments is derived.
