    2. Ray matrix What we need to describe a ray in an optical system. 1. Where is it with respect to some arbitrarily chosen axis? 2. In what direction is it heading? We start with inspection of the length of free space. We assume that all rays are paraxial, thus the angle equals the slop of the ray, r’.
