Multi-focal spherical media and geodesic lenses in geometrical optics

This paper presents a general approach to designing the isotropic spherical media with complex spatial structure that provide different types of imaging for different light rays. It is based on equivalence of the spherical medium and the corresponding geodesic lens. We use this approach to design multi-focal gradient- index lenses embedded into an optically homogeneous region and multi-focal absolute instruments that provide perfect imaging of three-dimensional domains.

Approximate magnifying perfect lens with positive refraction

We propose a device with a positive isotropic refractive index that creates an approximate magnified perfect real image of an optically homogeneous three-dimensional region of space within geometrical optics. Its key ingredient is a new refractive index profile that can work as an approximate perfect lens on its own, having a very moderate index range.

Absolute instruments and perfect imaging in geometrical optics

We investigate imaging by spherically symmetric absolute instruments that provide perfect imaging in the sense of geometrical optics. We derive a number of properties of such devices, present a general method for designing them and use this method to propose several new absolute instruments, in particular a lens providing a stigmatic image of an optically homogeneous region and having a moderate refractive index range.
