Confocal Families of Hyperbolic Conics via Quadratic Differentials

We apply the theory of quadratic differentials, to present a classification of orthogonal pairs of foliations of the hyperbolic plane by hyperbolic conics. Light rays are represented by trajectories of meromorphic differentials, and mirrors are represented by trajectories of the quadratic differenti...
