标题： Light propagation through optical media using metric contact geometry

摘要： 在本工作中，我们表明介质中光传播的射线和波前之间的正交性是通过光学介质的适当度量接触结构来表达的，而该介质没有边界。 此外，我们表明考虑界面（被建模为边界）时，正交性不再成立，导致光学像差，在某些情况下还会出现全内反射。 我们给出了一些说明这一点的例子。 显示英文摘要

摘要： In this work, we show that the orthogonality between rays and fronts of light propagation in a medium is expressed in terms of a suitable metric contact structure of the optical medium without boundaries. Moreover, we show that considering interfaces (modeled as boundaries) orthogonality is no longer fulfilled, leading to optical aberrations and in some cases total internal reflection. We present some illustrative examples of this latter point.
