:^ Calculate single-lens object-image distances (for PC only)
Calculates any one of
l, l' and
f', given the other two. A ray-tracing diagram is drawn.
2. Raytrace1.xls: Calculate thin-lens, paraxial system matrices and cardinal points
(PCs C&C computers) Calculates ray transport matrices for a thin lens (PC spreadsheet version: up to 2 lenses; linux
version, up to 20). When the system is fully specified, cardinal points are calculated from thecomponents of the system matrix. A ray-tracing diagram is drawn.
3. Lensmatrix: Calculate general paraxial system matrices and cardinal points
(Physics PCs and C&C computers) This program calculates ray transport matrices for a generalized thick lens system; i.e., a series
of media of arbitrary thickness, with the radius of curvature specified at each interface(spreadsheet verion: up to 3 interfaces). When the system is fully specified, cardinal pointsare calculated from the components of the system matrix. A ray-tracing diagram is drawn.
4. Raytrace2: Thick lens, meridional ray tracing (C&C only) This program performs ray tracing through a generalized thick lens system; i.e., a series of
media of arbitrary thickness, with the radius of curvature specified at each interface.(Maximum 12 interfaces). Versions are available both on C&C computers and on the AM018PCs. See class website, …/labs/progs/raytrace2g77readme.txt
