The general theory of forming the fractional Fouier transform images of two shifted and the plane wave modulated optical signals is given. Using this theory, we have shown that the parallel process of both cross shifting and modulation of the image by plane wave take place, if the fractional Fouier transform is realized. The principal possibility of the fractional Fouier transform images optical superposition for an arbitrary value of the fractional Fouier transform parameter   is determined. The influence of the interference term on forming the FFT conjugate images is shown. Results of numerical calculations of two optical superimposed fractional Fouier transform images of rectangular impulses are presented.

Keywords: fractional Fourier transform, fractional correlation, signal distribution method, rectangular slit, image forming, cross shifting.
