Abstract
Phase-space optics is introduced as an alternative to conventional Fourier optics. The phase-space approach to optical system theory is briefly reviewed. The phase-space interpretation of Gaussian beam propagation serves as an example to illustrate the convenience and utility of phase-space optics.
