CHAPTER 2 GEOMETRIC OPTICS Optics 311 - Geometric Optics 1

Imaging by an optical system • Every ray from O to I requires the same transit time isochronous. • The point O is the conjugate of point I. • In an ideal system, every ray from O pass through I. • Practical systems are non-ideal due to: 1. Scattering dimming 2. Aberrations distortion; no 1 -to-1 relationship 3. Diffraction sharpness (diffraction limited) Optics 311 - Geometric Optics 2
