DOI: 10.1007/s10763-015-9662-1
Abstract: The concepts and instruments required for the teaching and learning of geometric optics are introduced in the didactic process without a proper didactic transposition. This claim is secured by the ample evidence of both wide-… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijnonlinmec.2019.01.007
Abstract: Abstract A geometric optics analysis on the magnetohydrodynamics equations is performed when diffusion, Hall current and electron inertia are added as perturbations of the appropriate order. The first order approximation yields a transport equation along… read more here.

DOI: 10.1119/5.0083069
Abstract: Geometric optics is often described as tracing the paths of non-diffracting rays through an optical system. In the paraxial limit, ray traces can be calculated using ray transfer matrices (colloquially, ABCD matrices), which are 2 × 2… read more here.

DOI: 10.1364/oe.473075
Abstract: The linearized invariant-imbedding T-matrix method (LIITM) and linearized physical-geometric optics method (LPGOM) were applied on regular hexagonal prisms from small to large sizes to obtain the scattering properties and their partial derivatives. T-matrices and their… read more here.
