Caustics are natural phenomena, forming light patterns in rainbows
or through drinking glasses, and creating light networks at the
bottom of swimming pools. Only in recent years have scientists
started to artificially create simple caustics with laser light.
However, these realizations have already contributed to progress in
advanced imaging, lithography, and micro-manipulation. In this
book, Alessandro Zannotti pioneers caustics in many ways,
establishing the field of artificial caustic optics. He employs
caustic design to customize high-intensity laser light. This is of
great relevance for laser-based machining, sensing, microscopy, and
secure communication. The author also solves a long standing
problem concerning the origin of rogue waves which appear naturally
in the sea and can have disastrous consequences. By means of a
far-reaching optical analogy, he identifies scattering of caustics
in random media as the origin of rogue waves, and shows how
nonlinear light-matter interaction increases their probability.
