Catastrophe theory and caustics of radially symmetric beams
The work is devoted to the study of the caustics of radial beams. Analytical expressions for caustic surfaces of wave fronts created by radially symmetric diffractive optical elements are found. The result is presented in a curvilinear coordinate system consistent with the caustic surface. An asympt...
