Can a system of lenses or compound lens have a higher numerical aperture than a single element in the system?
I am attempting to create a simple Abbe condenser for a microscope, which typically consists of two converging lenses.
Ideally, I would like to achieve a numerical aperture for the condenser of ...

How to derive that Optical path length should be stationary from Fermat's principle?
I read above eq. (5.3) in "Optics" by Eugene Hecht
Fermat's Principle maintains that the optical path length OPL will be stationary; that is, its derivative with respect to the position ...

How would I account for non-linear refractive index effects in a nitrogen based medium?
I am trying to estimate the clamped intensity of a 90 fs femtosecond laser when it passes through a flow of nitrogen that is exiting a nozzle. Prior to the nozzle, the incoming nitrogen flow is heated ...

Refraction of light - Huygens' Principle
To elucidate the rationale behind the bending of light as it transitions between different mediums, Huygens' principle is predominantly employed. The procedure, as demonstrated in this video (link: ...

How large is the Group Delay Dispersion for ultrafast light pulse into glass if the refractive index changes linearly?
If an ideal ultrafast pulse with the duration of 1 cycle of light is propagating from air (with n = 1) into glass in the direction normal to the interface, Im also assuming the refractive index n of ...

As we all know a convex lens doesn't exactly converge all rays parallel to it's axis on a single point. So I want to find one such figure
Writing a differential equation for such a figure is an uncomplicated task. It can be accomplished by using snell's law. But the resulting equation probably isn't solvable. I put it in wolfram alpha ...

What will be the state of polarization?
When unpolarized light incident on the first polarizer, the light becomes plane-polarized with intensity equal to half of the initial value and the plane of polarization is parallel to the optic axis ...
