Ray optics---by which we mean the geometricallaws for optical ray propagation, withoutincluding diffraction---is a topic that is not onlyimportant in its own right, but also very useful inunderstanding the full diffractive propagation oflight waves in optical resonators and beams.. Ray matrices or paraxial ray optics provide ageneral way of expressing the elementary lenslaws of geometrical optics, or of spherical-waveoptics, leaving out higher-order aberrations, in aform that many people find clearer and moreconvenient

: Since a ray is, by definition, normal to the opticalwavefront, an understanding of the ray behaviormakes it possible to trace the evolution of opticalwaves when they are passing through variousoptical elements. We find that the passage of aray (or its reflection) through these elements canbe described by simple 2x2 matricesFurthermore, these matrices will be found todescribe the propagation of spherical waves andof Gaussian beams such as those which arecharacteristics of the output of lasers

: Ray propagation through cascaded elements:: A single 4-element ray matrix equal to theordinary matrix product of the individual raymatrices can thus describe the total or overall raypropagation through a complicated sequence ofcascaded optical elements. Note, however, thatthe matrices must be arranged in inverse orderfrom the order in which the ray physicallyencounters the corresponding elements
