Catenary Optics

Abstract

In this chapter, we summarize the applications of catenary optics in optical engineering. Based on the novel properties of catenary optical fields and catenary structures, it is shown that traditional optical laws and theories could be extended and generalized, which opens a door towards the next-generation engineering optics.
