These ray matrices also turn out to be very useful for,describing a large number of other optical beam and resonator problems,, including even problems that involve the diffractive nature of light.,Since a ray is, by definition, normal to the optical wavefront, an understanding of the ray behavior makes it possible to trace the evolution of optical waves when they are passing through various optical elements. We find that the passage of a ray (or its reflection) through these elements can be described by simple 2x2 matrices. Furthermore, these matrices will be found to describe the propagation of spherical waves and of Gaussian beams such as those which are characteristics of the output of lasers.,Ray propagation through cascaded elements:,,A single 4-element ray matrix equal to the ordinary matrix product of the individual ray matrices can thus describe the total or overall ray propagation through a complicated sequence of cascaded optical elements. Note, however, that the matrices must be arranged,in inverse order,from the order in which the ray physically encounters the corresponding elements.,二 腔内光线往返传播的矩阵表示,由曲率半径为,R,1,和,R,2,的两个球面镜M,1,和M,2,组成的共轴球面腔，腔长为,L,，开始时光线从M,1,面上出发，向M,2,方向行进,,当凹面镜向着腔内时，,R,取正值；当凸面镜向着腔内时，,R,取负值,光线从M,1,面上出发到达M,2,面上时,当光线在曲率半径为R,2,的镜M,2,上反射时,当光线再从镜M,2,行进到镜M,1,面上时,然后又在M,1,上发生反射,傍轴光线在腔内完成一次往返，总的坐标变换为,傍轴光线在腔内完成一次往返总的变换矩阵为,The sign of R is the same as that of the focal length of the equivalent. This makes R,1,(or R,2,) positive when the center of curvature of mirror 1(or 2) is in the direction of mirror 2 (or 1), and negative,,otherwise.,三 共轴球面腔的稳定性条件,(mode stability criteria),傍轴光线能在腔内往返任意多次而不横向逸出腔外，要求,n,次往返变换矩阵,T,n,的各个元素,A,n,、,B,n,、,C,n,、D,n,对任意,n,值均保持有限,,引入,g参数，可写成,简单共轴,球面腔,稳定腔,,,非稳腔,,,临界腔,,或,或,The ability of an optical resonator to support low (diffraction) loss modes depend on the mirrors separation,L,and their radii of curvature R,1,and R,2,.,四 常见的几种稳定腔、非稳腔、临界腔,双凹稳定腔、非稳腔,,凹凸稳定腔、非稳腔,,平凹稳定腔、非稳腔（如果,L=R/2,，称为半共焦腔；如果,L=R,，称为半共心腔,）,,双凸腔、平凸腔都是非稳腔,(a)、(b) 双凹稳定腔,(c) 凹-凸稳定腔,(d) 平-凹稳定腔,(e) 半共焦腔,对称共焦腔,(,confocal,),R,1,=R,2,=L,,平行平面腔,(plane-parallel),R,1,=R,2,=,∞,,共心腔,R,1,+R,2,=L,,实共心腔,R,1,、,R,2,均,为正值，当,R,1,=,R,2,=L/2,时，称为对称共心腔,(symmetric concentric),,虚共心腔,R,1,、,R,2,异号,临界腔,(a) 对称共焦腔,(b) 平行平面腔,(c) 实共心腔,(d) 对称共心腔,(e) 虚共心腔,五 稳区图,(stability diagram of optical resonator),任意一个球面腔唯一地对应于g,1,-g,2,平面上的一个点。

由g,1,=0、g,2,=0和g,1,g,2,=1双曲线的两支围成的区域属于腔的稳定工作区域，其余的区域属于非稳区如果满足g,1,=0、g,2,=0 或g,1,g,2,=1 ，则是临界腔任意一个具有确定（R,1,、R,2,、L）值的球面腔唯一地对应于图中一个点，但反过来，图中每个点并不单值地代表某一具体尺寸的球面腔对称共焦腔（本属于临界腔,g,1,=0，,g,2,=0），其中任意傍轴光线均可在腔内往返多次而不横向逸出，而且经两次往返即自行闭合在这种意义上，共焦腔属于稳定腔之列From this diagram, for example, it can be seen that the symmetric concentric (,R,1,=,R,2,=L/2,), confocal (,R,1,=R,2,=L,), and the plane-parallel (,R,1,=R,2,=∞,) resonator are all on the verge of instability and thus may become extremely lossy by small deviations of the parameters in the direction of instability.,小结：,可以证明，(A+D)/2对于一定几何结构的球面腔是一个不变量，与光线的初始坐标、出发位置(如在腔面上或在腔内任何其他点)及往返一次的顺序都元关。

对于复杂开腔，稳定性条件为：,对简单共轴球面腔，稳定性条件为：,end,。
