Telescope is a simple model of a telescope, consisting of a circular aperture, with or without an inner obscuration, and an applied focus, corresponding to a specified focal distance. At present it does not include a magnification, because we have generally found it convenient to describe optical system dimensions in output space. It has two WaveTrain inputs and two WaveTrain outputs, used to model both incoming and outgoing light.

Parameters
range	float	Focus distance (m)	1.0e20
apertureRadius	float	Aperture radius (m)	1.0
annulusRadius	float	Radius of the inner obscuration (m) (set to 0.0 for no obscuration)	0.0
Inputs
incomingIncident	WaveTrain	Describes all light incident from the "incoming" direction	WaveTrain()
outgoingIncident	WaveTrain	Describes all light incident from the "outgoing" direction	WaveTrain()
Outputs
incomingTransmitted	WaveTrain	Describes all light transmitted in the "incoming" direction
outgoingTransmitted	WaveTrain	Describes all light transmitted in the "outgoing" direction
