Matrix optics

The linear relationship between input and output optical fields for a given optical system or application that allows the use of a matrix and matrix algebra to define an optical system, or series of optical elements and the output optical field given the input field. Matrix optics is useful in paraxial ray tracing, polarization ray tracing, optical thin film analysis, and Gaussian laser beam propagation.
