Huygen’s Principle • All point on a given wavefront are taken as point sources

Huygen’s Principle • All point on a given wavefront are taken as point sources for the production of spherical secondary waves (wavelets). These propagate outward. After some time the new position of the wavefront is the surface tangent tot the wavelets.

Matrix methods for complex optical systems • Complex optical systems, involving a number of refracting and/or reflecting elements may be analyzed using system matrices. • A spherical thick lens is a lens whose thickness along the optical axis cannot be ignored without leading to serious errors when analyzed. • Just when a lens moves from a thin to thick depends on the accuracy required.

Matrix methods for complex optical systems • The thick lens can be treated by the methods discussed earlier where the glass medium is bounded by two spherical refracting surfaces. • The thick lens can also be described in a way that allows graphical determination corresponding to arbitrary objects. This description, in terms of the cardinal points of the lens, is useful because it can be applied to more complex optical systems.
