Optical Invariants

Optical Invariants is a theoretical construct in geometrical optics that identifies properties of light rays—such as the optical path length or the étendue—that remain unchanged under specific transformations through optical systems, thereby enabling the analysis and design of imaging devices based on conserved quantities.
