A bundle of light rays, completely parallel to the optical axis, has been used to plot profiles of the Cartesian surfaces with constant paraxial curvature and varying asphericity factor. To accomplish this study, a programming code of skew ray tracing has been constructed to trace rays through all types of Cartesian or quadric surfaces of revolution. The results of this work show a remarkable utility of ray-tracing procedure to plot distinguished Cartesian surfaces profiles.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
