We will describe the rays at any propagation distance z by using:
r: position from optical axisθ: the angle that the ray makes with the optical axis.
The angle is positive if the ray should be rotated clockwise to coincide with with the +z direction.

Paraxial ApproximationWe will assume that the angle is small and the ray is close to the optical axis.
The input and output parameters are related through a lineartransformation:

Ray matrices (ABCD matrices)For many optical components, we can define 2 x 2 ray matrices.The effect on a ray is found by multiplying its ray vector.
Ray matrices can describe very complex systems.

For cascaded elements, we simply multiply ray matrices.
