Abstract
Concatenated backward ray mapping is an alternative for ray tracing in 2D. It is based on the phase-space description of an optical system. Phase space is the set of position and direction coordinates of light rays intersecting a surface. The original algorithm (Filosa, ten Thije Boonkkamp and IJzerman in J Math Ind 11(1):4, 2021) is limited to optical systems consisting of only straight surfaces; we generalize it to accommodate curved surfaces. The algorithm is applied to a standard optical system, the compound parabolic concentrator. We compare the accuracy and speed of the generalized algorithm, the original algorithm and Monte Carlo ray tracing. The results show that the generalized algorithm outperforms both other methods.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
