Modern Optics
In the context of beam propagation and the ABCD matrix formalism, location refers to the specific position within an optical system where the properties of a light beam can be analyzed or measured. Understanding the location of various optical components, such as lenses or mirrors, is crucial for accurately determining how a light beam will propagate through the system, including its position, direction, and focus at different points.
