Linear ray and wave optics in phase space : bridging ray and wave optics via the Wigner phase-space picture /

Ray, wave and quantum concepts are central to diverse and seemingly incompatible models of light. Each model particularizes a specific ''manifestation'' of light, and then corresponds to adequate physical assumptions and formal approximations, whose domains of applicability are w...
