Wigner representation and geometric transformations of optical orbital angular momentum spatial modes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

An exact Wigner representation of optical spatial modes carrying orbital angular momentum is found in closed form by exploiting the underlying SU(2) Lie-group algebra of their associated Poincaré sphere. Orthogonality relations and observables of these states are obtained within the phase space picture. Development of geometric phases on mode transformations is also elucidated.
