Abstract
2 × 2 raytracing matrices are extremely useful in geometrical optics. In this chapter, the 2 × 2 raytracing matrix approach is used to describe the path of a paraxial meridional ray traveling along the \( {\text{y}}_{0} {\text{z}}_{0} \) plane through an axis-symmetrical system possessing multiple boundary surfaces.
