Unreferenced date December 2006 Image Vergence.svg thumb right Vergence of a beam. The vergence is inversely proportional to the distance from the focus in metres. If a positive lens is focussing the beam it has sit left of the focus, while a negative lens has to sit right of the focus to produce the appropriate vergence Otheruses Vergence disambiguation The vergence typical symbol L of a Ray optics light bundle in optics is the reciprocal of the distance between the focus optics point of focus and a reference plane. It is measured in dioptre s 1 D 1 m sup 1 sup . Vergence can also be understood as a measure of the curvature of the optical wavefront . However, it is only fully valid in geometrical optics , not in Gaussian beam optics or in wave optics where the wavefront at the focus is wavelength dependent and the curvature is not proportional to the distance from the focus. Convergence describes the situation when the light rays are approaching each other and its values are positive. Divergence is measured as negative dioptres and means that the beams are originating from a point.

For Gaussian beam optics Gaussian beam Gaussian optics is a technique in geometrical optics that describes the behaviour of light rays in optical systems by using the paraxial approximation , in which only rays which make small angles with the optical axis of the system are considered. ref A.Lipson, S.G.Lipson, H.Lipson, http books.google.it books?id aow3o0dhyjYC&pg PA51 v onepage&q&f false Optical Physics , IV edition, 2010, University Press, Cambridge, UK, p.51 ref In this approximation, trigonometric functions can be expressed as linear functions of the angles. Gaussian optics applies to systems in which all the optical surfaces are either flat or are portions of a sphere . In this case, simple explicit formulae can be given for parameters of an imaging system such as focal distance, magnification and brightness, in terms of the geometrical shapes and material properties of the constituent elements. Gaussian optics is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss , who showed that an optical system can be characterized by a series of Cardinalpointopticscardinal points , which allow one to calculate its optical properties. ref W.J.Smith, http books.google.it books?id DrtM bAnf YC&pg PA22 v onepage&q&f false Modern optical engineering the design of optical systems , McGraw Hill 2007, p.22 ref References reflist Category Geometrical opticsoptics stub ... more details

Electron optics deals with the focusing and deflection of electron s using magnetic field magnetic and or electrostatic field s. Electron properties main electron Electrons are charged particles point charge s with rest mass . The electron also has an associated spin physics spin of 1 2. While in motion an electron possesses kinetic energy , regardless of any imposed charge field this could be achieved by accelerating electrons via a voltage differential into a screened field free region, which initially imparts the energy required to accelerate the electron. Given sufficient voltage, the electron can be accelerated sufficiently fast to exhibit measurable relativistic effect s, and the velocity must be accounted for relativistically. According to the wave particle duality , electrons can also be considered as wave propagations and therefore have associated wave properties such as wavelength, phase and amplitude. With respect to electron optics, the nature of the electron as a charged particle causes electrons to interact with imposed electron fields, and their spin causes magnetic field interactions as well. These interactions form the fundamentals of electron optical theory. Field interactions Particle interpretation Magnetic fields interact with an electron in a manner that alters velocity independently of kinetic energy velocity magnitude . Electrons move according to the cross product of the magnetic field and the electron propagation vector, such that, in an infinite uniform field moving electrons take a circular motion at a constant radius dependent upon electron velocity and magnetic field strength field strength according to the following equation, which can be derived from circular motion math r frac 2 m cv eH math where r is the orbit radius, m is the mass of an electron, v is the electron velocity, e is the charge on the electron and H is the applied magnetic ... mll cmc eo.html Air Force Research Laboratory Electron Optics Program DEFAULTSORT Electron Optics Category ... more details

Optical aberration Image lens coma.svg thumb 300px Coma of a single lens In optics especially telescope s , the coma aka comatic aberration in an optical system refers to aberration in optical systems aberration inherent to certain optical designs or due to imperfection in the lens optics lens or other components which results in off axis point source s such as stars appearing distorted, appearing to have a tail coma cometary coma like a comet . Specifically, coma is defined as a variation in magnification over the entrance pupil . In refraction refractive or diffraction diffractive optical systems, especially those imaging a wide spectral range, coma can be a function of wavelength , in which case it is a form of chromatic aberration . Coma is an inherent property of telescopes using parabolic mirror s. Unlike a spherical mirror , a bundle of parallel rays parallel to the optical axis will be perfectly focused to a point the mirror is free of spherical aberration , no matter where they strike the mirror. However, this is only true if the rays are parallel to the axis of the parabola. When the incoming rays strike the mirror at an angle, individual rays are not reflected to the same point. When looking at a point that is not perfectly aligned with the optical axis, some of the incoming light from that point will strike the mirror at an angle. This results in an image that is not in the center of the field looking wedge shaped. The further off axis or the greater the angle subtented by the point with the optical axis , the worse this effect is. This causes stars to appear to have a coma cometary cometary coma , hence the name. http www.opticalmechanics.com technical articles about coma.html Schemes to reduce spherical aberration without introducing coma include Schmidt telescope Schmidt , Maksutov telescope Maksutov , Meade Instruments ACF Telescopes ACF and Ritchey Chr tien ... telescope http www.youtube.com watch?v EXmaY2txEBo Coma Aberration in Youtube Category Optics ... more details
