A spherical mirror is not stigmatic: The rays (or their extensions)

Fig. 2. Non stigmatism of a convexe mirror.

Fig. 3. But when we limit the aperture of the mirror,

Fig. 4 . and limit the conditions of use to small angles of incidence and
refraction are small, then a point image can be defined : the mirror becomes
quasi-stigmatic.
*
Spherical mirrors with a limited aperture (see Fig. 3.) and used so that
angles of incense and emergence remain small (see Fig. 4.), become quasi-stigmatic.
##### Gauss conditions / paraxial approximation and quasi-stigmatism
*
When spherical refracting surfaces are used under the following conditions, named
**Gauss conditions**
:
<br>
\-
The
*angles of incidence and refraction are small*
<br>
(the rays are slightly inclined on the optical axis, and intercept the spherical surface in the
vicinity of its vertex),
<br>
then the spherical refracting surfaces can be considered
*quasi- stigmatic*
, and therefore they
*can be used to build optical images*
.
*
Mathematically, when an angle $
`\alpha`
$ is small ($
`\alpha < or \approx 10 ^\circ`
$), the following
approximations can be made :
<br>
$
`sin(\alpha) \approx tan (\alpha) \approx \alpha`
$ (rad), et $
`cos(\alpha) \approx 1`
$.
*
Geometrical optics limited to Gaussian conditions is called
**Gaussian optical**
or
**paraxial optics**
.
