Abstract
As we have discussed in Chap. 1, the characterization of 2D beams is a complex problem requiring the acquisition and processing of huge volume of data. Any hypothesis about the beam spatial structure, and specially those that can be experimentally checked, has to be used in order to simplify this task.

3.7 Demonstration of the Separability Test
The separability test affirms that a beam for which all its fractional power spectra satisfy
must be separable in Cartesian coordinates. Introducing the FRFT kernel in both left- and right-hand sides of Eq. (3.20) we obtain that:
and
where \(c_\gamma \) is a transformation constant that depends on \(\gamma \) and the Parseval theorem has been applied to relate
As this condition must be held for all angles \(\gamma \), it is equivalent to
The essence of the demonstration is to deduce that any beam that satisfies Eq. (3.24) must be separable.
Consider a beam described by the MI \(\Gamma \left( \mathbf {r}_1,\mathbf {r}_2\right) \) which is not separable, but satisfies Eq. (3.24). Consider the following two functions obtained via
Thus, Eq. (3.24) can be rewritten as
Notice that the power of the beam can be expressed as
Dividing both sides of Eq. (3.27) by the energy we obtain
This is the separability condition of our starting beam, which was considered not separable. Therefore, by reductio ad absurdum, a beam satisfying Eq. (3.24), or Eq. (3.20) for every \(\gamma \), has to be separable.
