Case study: A simple optical inverse problem from a geometrical optics point of view

In this paper, we revisit the simple problem of reflection from a dielectric sphere for light rays and define a form of optical inverse problem in the sense of geometrical optics (GO). A general analytic formula is derived to obtain the refraction index of the sphere for any incidence light to emerg...
