AB The Wigner distribution of rotationally symmetric partially coherent light is considered, and the constraints for its moments are derived. Although all odd-order moments vanish, these constraints lead to a drastic reduction in the number of parameters that we need to describe all even-order moments: whereas in general we have (N + 1) (N + 2) (N + 3)/6 different moments of order N, this number reduces to (1 + N/2)(2) in the case of rotational symmetry. A way to measure the moments as intensity moments in the output planes of (generally anamorphic) fractional Fourier-transform systems is presented.
