摘要

The perturbation theory of matrices is applied to ray transfer matrices (RTMs) to describe an optical component with aberration.A quantitative description of the perturbation extent corresponding to aberration strength is provided using condition numbers and absolute errors for the perturbed RTM.An application to a single small aberration is presented,and the results are compared with those of the diffraction theory of aberrations.
