This book employs homogeneous coordinate notation to compute the
first- and second-order derivative matrices of various optical
quantities. It will be one of the important mathematical tools for
automatic optical design. The traditional geometrical optics is
based on raytracing only. It is very difficult, if possible, to
compute the first- and second-order derivatives of a ray and
optical path length with respect to system variables, since they
are recursive functions. Consequently, current commercial software
packages use a finite difference approximation methodology to
estimate these derivatives for use in optical design and analysis.
Furthermore, previous publications of geometrical optics use vector
notation, which is comparatively awkward for computations for
non-axially symmetrical systems.
