Wavefronts, light rays and caustic associated with the refraction of a plane wave by a conospherical lens
José Israel Galindo-Rodríguez, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza
The aim of the present work is to introduce a lens whose faces are a conical surface and a spherical surface. We illuminate this lens by a plane wavefront and its associated refrac…
Classical Characterization of quantum waves: Comparison between the caustic and the zeros of the Madelung-Bohm potential
E. Espíndola-Ramos, G. Silva-Ortigoza, C. T. Sosa-Sánchez +6
From a geometric perspective, the caustic is the most classical description of a wavefunction since its evolution is governed by the Hamilton-Jacobi equation. On the other hand, ac…
Exact computation of image disruption under reflection on a smooth surface and Ronchigrams
Edwin Román-Hernández, Gilberto Silva-Ortigoza
We use geometrical optics and the caustic-touching theorem to study, in an exact way, the change in the topology of the image of an object obtained by reflections on an arbitrary s…
