Subject: optics

Actually, the paraxial matrices do apply to non-meridional rays, if the ray
description is set up properly. However, the text book treatments I have
seen ignore this fact in the interests of simplicity. I have a write up I
used to use when I taught optics. I will send a copy to anyone interested.

May I have a copy?

Thank you for your kind offer.

Regards,
Steven
