Abstract
We emphasize the diffraction properties of cylindrically symmetrical f
irst order systems. Based on matrix optics, our investigations lead to
two conclusions. One is that diffraction of such a lossless system co
nsists of a fractional Fourier transform. The other is that the fracti
onal order of the system is not unique. It depends on the concrete imp
lementation of a diffraction system.
