Abstract
The optical matrix formalism is applied to find parameters such as focal distance, back and front focal points, principal planes, and the equation relating object and image distances for a thick spherical lens immerse in air. Then, the formalism is applied to systems compound of two, three and N thick lenses in cascade. It is found that a simple Gaussian equation is enough to relate object and image distances no matter the number of lenses.
