Title: Advantages of a Block Matrix Formulation for an Astigmatic System
Abstract: The algebra of using the 4 × 4 system matrix for astigmatic systems is further simplified by rearranging the system matrix elements, and then dividing the system matrix into four 2 × 2 blocks. The resulting matrix equations have exactly the same algebraic form as the equations for a spherical lens system and the derivations of matrix equations for astigmatic systems become functionally as simple as the derivations for spherical optical systems.
