title: Ray tracing through a toric refracting surface.
abstract: A procedure has been developed for tracing a ray through a toric refracting surface. The surface is defined in terms of a rectangular coordinate system. The ray is specified by the rectangular coordinates of a point through which it passes and its direction-cosines.
