Robust numerical solution to the Levi-Civita wavefront coupling problem via level set computation of the point characteristic function

R Vila, J Portilla, S Barbero - JOSA A, 2023 - opg.optica.org
The Levi-Civita wavefront coupling problem consists of, given two prescribed wavefronts,
obtaining a refractive or reflective surface coupling them. We propose a robust numerical …

Exact mirror equation via Berry's caustic touching theorem: plane and spherical mirrors

G Silva-Ortigoza, I Julián-Macías, A González-Juárez… - JOSA A, 2022 - opg.optica.org
In this work, we assume that in free space we have an observer, a smooth mirror, and an
object placed at arbitrary positions. The aim is to obtain, within the geometrical optics …
