Linear Ray and Wave Optics in Phase Space: Bridging Ray and Wave Optics via the Wigner Phase-Space Picture

Ray, wave and quantum concepts are central to diverse and seemingly incompatible models of light. Each model particularizes a specific ”manifestation” of light, and then corresponds to adequate physical assumptions and formal approximations,
whose domains of applicability are well-established. Accordingly each model comprises its own set of geometric and dynamic postulates with the pertinent mathematical means.
