WHAT DOES CONFOCAL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Confocal

In geometry, confocal means having the same foci. ▪ For an optical cavity consisting of two mirrors, confocal means that they share their foci. If they are identical mirrors, their radius of curvature, Rmirror, equals L, where L is the distance between the mirrors. ▪ In conic sections, it is said of two ellipses, two hyperbolas, or an ellipse and a hyperbola which share both foci with each other. If an ellipse and a hyperbola are confocal, they are perpendicular to each other. ▪ In optics, it means that one focus or image point of one lens is the same as one focus of the next lens.
