Abstract
The relationship between optical fractional Fourier transforms (OFRTs) obtained at different wavelengths is
derived by use of the ABCD matrix formalism. It is shown that varying the wavelength while retaining the
same optical system can be used to control the order of the OFRT. The advantage of this method of varying
OFRT order is that no variation in the characteristics of the bulk optics is required. A general experimental
verification of the theory is provided by showing the exact equivalence of two OFRT systems of different order
when they are replayed using the same input function at different wavelengths.
