Chapter 5 Geometrical optics January 14,16 Lenses 5.1 Introductory remarks Image:If a cone of rays emitted from a point source S arrives at a certain point P, then P is called the image of S. Diffraction-limited image:The size of the image for a point source is not zero. The limited size of an optical system causes the blur of the image point due to diffraction effect: Geometrical optics:When l <<D, diffraction effects can be neglected, and light propagates on a straight line in homogeneous media. Physical optics:When l ~ D orl>D, the wave nature of light must be considered.
5.2 Lenses Lens:A refracting device that causes each diverging wavelet from an object to converge or diverge and to form the image of the object. • Lens terminology: • Convex lens, converging lens, positive lens • Concave lens, diverging lens, negative lens • Focal points • Real image: Rays converge to the image point • Virtual image: Rays diverge from the image point • Real object: Rays diverge from the object point • Virtual object: Rays converge to the object.

y A(x,y) D x F d 5.2.1 Aspherical surfaces Determining the shape of the surface of a lens: The optical path length (OPL) from the source to the output wavefront should be a constant. Example: Collimating a point source (image at infinity) The surface is a hyperboloid when nti>1, and is an ellipsoid when nti<1. nt ni Example: Imaging a point source. The surface is a Cartesian oval. Aspherical lenscan form perfect image, but is hard to manufacture. Spherical lenscannot form perfect image (aberration), but is easy to manufacture.

Thin lens equations: Forming an image with two spherical surfaces:
If the lens is thin enough, d → 0.Assuming nm=1, we have the thin lens equation: Lens maker’s equation: Remember them together with the sign convention. Gaussian lens formula: Question: what if the lens is in water?
A C2 C1 O B R1 R2 Optical center:All rays whose emerging directions are parallel to their incident directions pass through one special common point inside the lens. This point is called the optical center of the lens. Proof: Conversely, rays passing through O refract in parallel. Proof: For a thin lens, rays passing through the optical center are straight rays.
C’ C Focal plane C P S Fi Focal plane Focal plane: A plane that contains the focal point and is perpendicular to the optical axis. In paraxial optics, a lens focuses any bundle of parallel rays entering in a narrow cone onto a point on the focal plane. Proof: 1st surface, 2nd surface Image plane Image plane:In paraxial optics, the image formed by a lens of a small planar object normal to the optical axis will also be a small plane normal to that axis.
