“…It has been extended to allow other transforms take the place of the optical Fourier transform, such as the Fresnel transform [5] (including by means of a chirp placed in the Fourier plane [6]), fractional Fourier transform [5], [7], and the 1-dimensional linear canonical transform (1D-LCT) [8]. Phase retrieval based on intensities captured in planes related by one specific nonseparable transform, the gyrator transform, have also been reported [9], [10], [11], [12], [13], [14], [15]. The advantage of using these alternative systems is that increased flexibility for the system designer.…”
