Phase-space tomography with a programmable Radon-Wigner display.

We show the adaptation of a multifunctional optical system consisting of two spatial light modulators for the optimal measurement of the Radon-Wigner transform of one-dimensional signals. The proposed Radon-Wigner display allows reconstructing the Wigner distribution and the phase or the mutual intensity of fully or partially coherent fields, respectively. It is also suitable for the analysis of two-dimensional rotationally symmetric or separable in Cartesian coordinates optical fields. The feasibility of the proposed scheme is experimentally demonstrated in several examples.
