Fractional Wigner distribution function

The fractional Wigner distribution function, introduced in this paper starting from the fractional Fourier transform, is found to be the appropriate phase-space distribution function for light-beam characterization in the near-field diffraction regime. The properties of the fractional Wigner distribution function and the moment-matrix formalism for beam characterization are studied.
