Optical fresnel transform as a correspondence of the SU(1,1) squeezing operator composed of quadratic combination of canonical operators and the entangled state

We study optical Fresnel transforms by finding the appropriate quantum mechanical SU(1,1) squeezing operators which are composed of quadratic combination of canonical operators. In one-mode case, the squeezing operator's matrix element in the coordinate basis is just the kernel of one-dimensional generalized Fresnel transform (GFT); while in two-mode case, the matrix element of the squeezing operator in the entangled state basis leads to the two-dimensional GFT kernel. The work links optical transforms in wave optics to generalized squeezing transforms in quantum optics.
