Assignment 6

1. Read Smith Section 2.6 (p 34-38). Work Example D using a spreadsheet and Matlab. Your final results should match Smith's Table 2.10. Use a paraxial solve to find the location and size of the image.

2. Using the file asgn6.xls, generated from an OSLO paraxial raytrace, do the following:
   1. Find the focal length and f/number.
   2. Find the distance from surface 7 to the paraxial image plane. Is the specified image plane closer or further from the lens than the paraxial image plane?
   3. Generate a new chief ray such that surface 4 is the stop of the system.

3. Using the lens description in Smith, page 506, do the following using OSLO:
   1. Find the effective focal length (efl).
   2. Show a drawing of the lens.
   3. Find the back focal plane using a paraxial solve.
   4. Show a paraxial raytrace using OSLO.
   5. Show the paraxial setup from OSLO.

4. For the previous lens, find the paraxial raytrace using Excel and using MATLAB. The results should match the OSLO results.
