Abstract

In an attempt to apply the fuzzy set theory to optics a fuzzy entropy [A. De Luca and S. Termini: Inf. Control20 (1972) 301] is used as a measure of optical field concentration in transverse dimensions. Unlike the Shannon's information entropy, the fuzzy entropy is based on a nonprobabilistic concept and therefore can be used for characterizing the strength of classical wave localization.
