Geometric Ray Tracing of a Paraxial Lens
Abstract
The AESOP computer algebra ray tracing package has been updated to include geometric tracing of a paraxial lens. This document describes ray direction and optical path changes upon traversal of the ideal optical element known as a paraxial lens. This is simply an infinitely thin, aberration-free lens in the paraxial approximation.
