Abstract

The flow line has been an interesting way of explaining the formation of nonimaging optics. As a field, the flow line implies that the ideal nonimaging optics is deeply related to the laws of thermodynamics. However, it has been a mystery since the topic was founded how such a connection can be formed. We present vector potential field of the flow line field of the new perspective on this hard question.
