They are more general and flexible than the original ones. We derive the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the offset FT, FRFT, and LCT. We can use their eigenfunctions to analyze the self-imaging phenomena of the optical system with free spaces and the media with the transfer function exp[j(h 2x2 + h1x + h0)] (such as lenses and shifted lenses). Their eigenfunctions are also useful for resonance phenomena analysis, fractal theory development, and phase retrieval. © 2003 Optical Society of America.Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions; Fourier transforms; Optical transfer function; Linear canonical transforms (LCT); Optical systemsEigenfunctions of the offset Fourier, fractional Fourier, and linear canonical transformsjournal article10.1364/josaa.20.0005222-s2.0-0042575188WOS:000181226100013http://ntur.lib.ntu.edu.tw/bitstream/246246/142386/1/10.pdf
