Abstract
We demonstrate that an off-axis illuminated hemispherical-rod microlens act s as a fractional Fourier transformer with a continuously varying degree of fractionality. A complete theoretical treatment of the device as well as e xperimental results are presented. (C) 1999 Optical Society of America.
