Description:
Author(s): Pablo Vaveliuk, Alberto Lencina, José A. Rodrigo, and Oscar Martinez Matos In this paper, a meaningful classification of optical caustic beams in two dimensions is presented. It is demonstrated that the phase symmetry of the beam's angular spectrum governs the optical catastrophe, which describes the wave properties of ray singularities, for cusp (symmetric phase) and fold… [Phys.
