Plan  for  today:  

1)  The  ABCD  law  for  rays  and  for  Gaussian  Beams

Optical elements change the q-parameter according to the ABCD law. The ABCD elements are the same that appear in the Ray Matrix formalism for “Ray Optics”

1a)  What  is  the  ABCD  transformaIon  law  for  a  Gaussian  beam?    That,  how  is  q1  related  to  q2  in  terms  of  the  A,B,C,  and  D  values?

Optical elements change the q-parameter according to the ABCD law. The ABCD elements are the same that appear in the Ray Matrix formalism for “Ray Optics”

1a)  What  is  the  ABCD  transformaIon  law  for  a  Gaussian  beam?    That,  how  is  q1  related  to  q2  in  terms  of  the  A,B,C,  and  D  values?  

1b)  What  is  required  for  this  law  to  hold?  The Gaussian beam stays Gaussian through any optical system as long as the paraxial approximation is valid. As soon as the paraxial approximation breaks down (i.e., nonlinear terms become important), the beam will become non-Gaussian.

- Only two elements since we assume cylindrical symmetry - a ray has infinite length, so we don't quantify it.
