Shadow optical method of caustics: experimental setup, computer simulation, constraints
The shadow optical method of caustics has been presented. Presentation includes the theoretical background, experimental setup as well as computer simulation of the laser ray from laser through the specimen to the screen. Finally certain constraints of the method have been discussed based on an analysis of the experimental results.
