Abstract
We investigate the capability of open source freeware ray tracing rendering software to demonstrate the imaging properties of canonical optical resonators. This software can directly visualize the imaging properties of canonical resonators. We can also demonstrate effects such as the trapping of light rays in geometrically stable resonators and the formation of fractal intensity patterns in the eigenmodes of geometrically unstable resonators.
