Abstract
Inserting an opaque screen to obscure the passage of rays gives rise to penumbra caustics. In this case the standard integrals are incomplete Airy functions and their extensions. A close type of caustics is formed by the diffracted rays in the region of a diffraction penumbra. Both types of caustic, treated first by Yu.I. Orlov, correspond to the so-called edge catastrophes.
