摘要
We propose an original method for determining suitable refracting profiles between two media to solve two related problems: to produce a given wavefront from a single point source after refraction at the refracting profile, and to focus a given wavefront at a fixed point. These profiles are obtained as envelopes of specific families of Cartesian ovals. We study the singularities of these profiles and give a method to construct them from the data of the associated caustic.
