Caustics Formation

Caustics Formation is a wave refraction phenomenon in which the envelope of refracted wavefronts develops singularities or high-amplitude regions due to spatial focusing, characterized by the local convergence of energy along curves or surfaces where the Jacobian determinant of the ray mapping vanishes.
