Samenvatting

In this paper the Wigner distribution function has been introduced for optical signals and systems. The Wigner distribution function of an optical signal appears to be in close resemblance to the ray concept in geometrical optics. This resemblance reaches even farther: although derived from Fourier optics, the Wigner distribution functions of some elementary optical systems can directly be interpreted in terms of geometrical optics.
