We demonstrate a mathematical representation of the approach and highlight the procedure in modal characterisation using Laguerre-Gaussian modes.enOptical field characterisationWigner distribution functionsLaguerre-Gaussian modesConference PresentationMredlana, P., Naidoo, D., Mafusire, C., Kruger, T., Dudley, A.
