| Abstract: | A method of designing reflector surfaces by the geometrical-optics approximation is introduced, in which a given generalised far field is realised when the reflector is illuminated by a point source. The problem is shown to be reduced to solving a nonlinear 2nd-order partial differential equation of the Monge-Ampère type. A computed example is given. |
