Exploded representation of a refracting surface
The concept of the exploded refracting sur-face is useful in the optics of contact lenses and vision underwater. The purpose of this paper is to show how to represent a refracting surface as an exploded pair of surfaces separated by a gap of zero width. The analysis is in terms of linear optics and...

Summary: | The concept of the exploded refracting sur-face is useful in the optics of contact lenses and vision underwater. The purpose of this paper is to show how to represent a refracting surface as an exploded pair of surfaces separated by a gap of zero width. The analysis is in terms of linear optics and allows for astigmatic and non-coaxial cases. |
