Cataloged from PDF version of article.Our aim in this paper is to obtain the best synthesis of a desired mutual intensity dis~but~on, by filtering in fractional
Fourier domains. More specifically, we find the optimal fractional-domain filter that transforms a given (source) mutual
intensity distribution into the desired one as closely as possible (in the minimum mean-square error sense). It is observed
that, in some cases, closer approximations to the desired profile can be obtained by filtering in fractional Fourier domains,
in comparison to filtering in the ordinary space or frequency domains
