Ray tracing through the crystalline lens using the decomposition method

摘要

The problem of tracing light rays through an inhomogeneous graded index medium is solved using the decomposition method. This is a powerful method for solving nonlinear and/or stochastic differential equations. We apply this method to arrive at the solution for ray tracing through the human crystalline eye lens having a radially varying refractive index distribution. This method offers a simpler method to solve the ray equation in GRIN media.
