Abstract

We describe a method for the calculation of the eikonal coefficients of a symmetric optical system composed of two symmetric subsystems. We consider coefficients of second to tenth order in the direction cosines. The system eikonal is seen to consist of an additive part and correction terms of sixth and higher order. We discuss the interpretation and the magnitude of the correction terms.
