OSTROVSKY, A. S.; RAMOS ROMERO, O.  and  MARTINEZ NICONOFF, G.. Fast algorithm for bilinear transforms in optics. Rev. mex. fis. [online]. 2002, vol.48, n.3, pp.186-191. ISSN 0035-001X.

The fast algorithm for calculating the bilinear transform in the optical system is proposed. This algorithm is based on the coherent-mode representation of the cross-spectral density function of the illumination. The algorithm is computationally efficient when the illumination is partially coherent. Numerical examples are studied and compared with theoretical results.

Keywords : Bilinear transform; fast algorithm; cross-spectral density; coherent-mode representation.
