Optical phase space is a conceptual framework used to describe the properties and behaviors of light, particularly in the context of quantum optics and photonics. In classical terms, phase space is a mathematical space in which all possible states of a system are represented, with each state corresponding to a unique point in this space. For a system of light, the phase space typically involves the representation of both the amplitude and phase of the light waves.
