Abstract

V originále

Until now, the known set of absolute optical instruments has been limited to those containing high levels of symmetry. Here, we demonstrate a method of mathematically constructing refractive index profiles that result in asymmetric absolute optical instruments. The method is based on the analogy between geometrical optics and classical mechanics and employs Lagrangians that separate in Cartesian coordinates. In addition, our method can be used to construct the index profiles of most previously known absolute optical instruments, as well as infinitely many different ones.

In Czech

V článku teoreticky navrhujeme novou třídu absolutních optických instrumentů, které na rozdíl od předchozích návrhů nemají sférickou symetrii. Rovněž ukazujeme souvislost s již dříve známýými absolutními instrumenty.
