Phase-Space Processing of Terahertz Radiation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Optical Sciences ((SSOS,volume 171))

Abstract

A short overview of phase-space distribution functions and of their applications in characterizing and processing terahertz radiation is presented. The most commonly used phase-space distributions functions: the Wigner distribution function, the ambiguity function, the spectrogram, the wavelet transform, and the fractional Fourier transform, are discussed in some details.
