  2. Ray transfer matrix analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_transfer_matrix_analysis

    Note that, since the multiplication of matrices is non-commutative, this is not the same RTM as that for a lens followed by free space: = [] [] = []. Thus the matrices must be ordered appropriately, with the last matrix premultiplying the second last, and so on until the first matrix is premultiplied by the second.

  3. Lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lens

    An extended hemispherical lens is a special type of plano-convex lens, in which the lens's curved surface is a full hemisphere and the lens is much thicker than the radius of curvature. Another extreme case of a thick convex lens is a ball lens, whose shape is completely round. When used in novelty photography it is often called a "lensball".

  4. Geometrical optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometrical_optics

    Thin lenses produce focal points on either side that can be modeled using the lensmaker's equation. [5] In general, two types of lenses exist: convex lenses, which cause parallel light rays to converge, and concave lenses, which cause parallel light rays to diverge. The detailed prediction of how images are produced by these lenses can be made ...

    The OSLO software is used by scientists and engineers to design lenses, reflectors, optical instruments, laser collimators, and illumination systems. It is also used for simulation and analysis of optical systems using both geometrical and physical optics. In addition to optical design and analysis, OSLO provides a complete technical software ...

  7. Ronchi test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronchi_test

    The figure quality of a convex lens may be visually tested using a similar principle. The grating is moved around the focal point of the lens while viewing the virtual image through the opposite side. Distortions in the lens surface figure then appear as asymmetries in the periodic grating image.

  9. Focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Focal_length

    For a thin lens in air, the focal length is the distance from the center of the lens to the principal foci (or focal points) of the lens.For a converging lens (for example a convex lens), the focal length is positive and is the distance at which a beam of collimated light will be focused to a single spot.
