Project: Geometrical Optics and Simulation of Spot Diagrams

In this project, I constructed spot diagrams, based on the behavior of the refracted rays through spherical surfaces, to analyze the properties of the refracted rays. The spot diagrams were constructed using MATLAB. I also determined the encircled energy of the resulting image which gives the distribution of energy. The main aim of this project is to understand the geometrical behaviour of the rays and hence simulating the spot diagrams of the refracted rays through the transparent spherical surfaces.
