Ray optics 90
Ray optics: light is described by rays that travel in different optical media in accordance
with a set of geometrical rules. Ray optics is concerned with the location and direction of
light rays. The wavelength of light is assumed to be zero (much smaller than the objects).
Paraxial ray approximation: The ray travels close to the optical axis at small inclinations.
Matrix optics: an efficient tool to study the ray’s position and inclination.
The ray at the interface is described by
the position r and the direction as

If the ray is rotated clockwise to
the optical axis, or else the angle is

The optical axis is usually the normal of a surface, if the incident ray is on the optical axis, the output ray will be on it as well .

Wave reflection and transmission 97
The Electric field E of the optical wave, can be divided into a p-polarized wave Ep (in the plane of incidence) and a s-polarized wave Es (orthogonal to the plane of incidence). Plane of incidence is the plane that formed by the incident wave & the normal of the dielectric interface.

Wave optics is a branch of optics which studies interference, diffraction, polarization, and other phenomena for which the ray approximation of geometric optics is not valid. The scalar electric field is described by the wave equation.
Slowly varying amplitude approximation,
where u(t) is the slowly varying electric field (envelope, vary little on a wavelength scale).

Hugents-Fresnel-Kirchhoff diffraction theory 108
Huygens-Fresnel principle: Each point at the wavefront becomes a source for the secondary spherical wave. At any subsequent time, the wavefront can be determined by the sum of these secondary waves.

Gaussian beams
Gaussian beam 111
Gaussian beam is a beam of monochromatic electromagnetic radiation whose transverse magnetic and electric field amplitude profiles are given by the Gaussian function; this also implies a Gaussian intensity profile. It is one important solution of the Fresnel-Kirchhoff integral equation.
