Abstract
The method of interference integrals devised by Yu.I. Orlov represents the wave field as a superposition of partial wavelets, each of which satisfies the equation of geometrical optics while the sum describes the caustic field. In the particular case when the momentum is chosen as a parameter of the family of wavelets, Orlov’s method becomes Maslov’s method. This chapter also considers Orlov’s interference integrals in which partial wavelets are caustic fields (Airy asymptotics or more complex expansions).
