title = "Generating function formulation for inverse freeform design",
abstract = "We present several geometrical models for freeform optical design based on Hamilton{\textquoteright}s characteristic functions, which can be either expressed in terms of a cost function or a generating function. The models are closed with an energy balance. We give an example of an inverse design for a near-field optical system.",
