TIM, a ray-tracing program for METATOY research and its dissemination

This program has been imported from the CPC Program Library held at Queen's University Belfast (1969-2018)

Abstract
TIM (The Interactive METATOY) is a ray-tracing program specifically tailored towards our research in METATOYs, which are optical components that appear to be able to create wave-optically forbidden light-ray fields. For this reason, TIM possesses features not found in other ray-tracing programs. TIM can either be used interactively or by modifying the openly available source code; in both cases, it can easily be run as an applet embedded in a web page. Here we describe the basic structure of ...
