  Periscope theorem.

Let F: D1D2 be a diffeomorphism of two domains on a plane. Consider a parallel bundle of light rays through D1 perpendicular to the plane. We consider the following problem.

Find a system of mirrors which transforms this bundle to a parallel bundle through D2 perpendicular to the plane such that any ray through xD1 is transformed to the ray through F(x)∈D2.
