RECENT ADVANCES IN BEAM TRANSFORMATION OPTICS PART Ⅱ MATRIX OPTICAL METHODSAND LIE ALGEBRAIC THEORY

In part n of this monosraph, the matrix optical methods and Lie algebraic theory are used for analyzing beam transformation and propagation through optical systems, including axis -asymmetric systems and optical arrays, as well as dispersive Gaussian pulse propagation. Some novel methods and useful tools, such as the generalized ABCD law and Lie methods are introduced and illustrated with typical application examples.
