Abstract
In lens systems, the constituent lenses usually share a common optical axis, or at least a common optical-axis direction, and such combinations of lenses are well understood. However, in recent proposals for lens-based transformation-optics devices [Opt. Express 26, 17872 (2018) ], the lenses do not share an optical-axis direction. To facilitate the understanding of such lens systems, we describe here combinations of two ideal lenses in any arbitrary arrangement as a single ideal lens. This description has the potential to become an important tool in understanding novel optical instruments enabled by skew-lens combinations.
