Abstract: An axiomatic method, applicable to wide-aperture, wide-angle and other special optical systems, has been developed for analysis and design. It permits determination readily of the optical properties which would be compatible with an optical system in its early planning stage, without requiring a detailed knowledge of all parts of the system, and is helpful in the actual synthetic design that follows. The necessary conditions for imaging sharply elements of lines and surfaces are generally defined by laws of light propagation, and more specifically by Abbe's Sine Law and the Cosine Law. The axiomatic method has been derived from these laws by developing them into geometric constructions for tracing physically correct incident and refracted rays and representing so-called “iconic models” of perfect optical systems. This method, which is quite different from Gauss' abstract ray tracing procedure, has been applied to study of the characteristics and practical realization of optical combinations approaching their “iconic models.” Of particular interest are such systems having a spherical image surface used in combination with field flatteners to obtain a sharp image in a plane, and symmetrical combinations which have apertures approaching f/0.5.
