Searching MathSource, Wolfram Research's electronic library
of Mathematica materials, using "optics" as a keyword
returns the following items:
0207-605: A Notebook About Optica
0205-131: Caustic Calculations
0204-343: Lens Lab---A Demonstration of Lens Ray-Tracing
with Mathematica
Optica is a geometric ray-tracing package, developed by
Donald Barnhart who also wrote LensLab, which is available
from Wolfram Research (call 1-800-441-6284 in the US or
send email to info at wri.com). Further details about Optica
are also available on Wolfram Research's World Wide Web
pages. Point your Web browser to
<http://www.wri.com/mathematica/applications/appoptica.html>.
MathSource is accessible by email (mathsource at wri.com), by
anonymous ftp/gopher (mathsource.wri.com), and by World Wide
Web (http://www.wri.com/mathSource.html).
I hope this helps.
