Matrix methods in paraxial optics Lens matrix n nL n’ For the complete system Note order – matrices do not, in general, commute.
Matrices: General Properties For system in air, n=n’=1
System matrix: Special Cases (a) D = 0  f = Cyo (independent of o) f yo Input plane is the first focal plane
yf o System matrix: Special Cases (b) A = 0  yf = Bo (independent of yo) Output plane is the second focal plane
yf System matrix: Special Cases (c) B = 0  yf = Ayo yo Input and output plane are conjugate – A = magnification
o f System matrix: Special Cases (d) C = 0  f = Do (independent of yo) Telescopic system – parallel rays in : parallel rays out

Imaging with thin lens in air For thin lens: A=1B=0D=1 C=-1/f y’ = A’yo + B’o
Imaging with thin lens in air For thin lens: A=1B=0D=1 C=-1/f y’ = A’yo + B’o For imaging, y’ must be independent of o  B’ = 0 B’ = As + B + Css’ + Ds’ = 0 s + 0 + (-1/f)ss’ + s’ = 0
