The use of matrices for third order modelling of optical systems

Abstract

The paraxial approximation makes two assumptions: • All the rays make small angles with the optical axis allowing the replacement of sines and tangents by the angles themselves in radians. • All rays are meridional, i.e. they belong to planes that pass through the optical axis.
