Abstract

ORIG CZ

V originále

We study the ray optics of generalized lenses (glenses), which are ideal thin lenses generalized to have different object- and image-sided focal lengths, and the most general light-ray-direction-changing surfaces that stigmatically image any point in object space to a corresponding point in image space. Our analysis is centered on the nodal point. Whereas the nodal point of a thin lens always resides in the lens plane, that of a glens can reside anywhere on the optical axis. Utilizing the nodal point, we derive simple equations that describe the mapping between object and image space and the light-ray-direction change. We demonstrate our findings with the help of ray-tracing simulations. Glenses allow novel optical instruments to be realized, at least theoretically, and our results facilitate the design and analysis of such devices.

In Czech

V článku studujeme optiku tzv. zobecněných čoček. Využíváme k tomu pojem uzlového bodu, který na rozdíl od běžných čoček nemusí ležet v rovině čočky. Pomocí vlastností tohoto bodu odvozujeme obecnou zobrazovací rovnici zobecněné čočky. Svá teoretická zjištění doplňujeme fotorealistickými simulacemi.
