| dc.description | We proposed in a previous paper [Opt. Commun. 228, 33 (2003)] a modified radiative transfer equation to describe radiative transfer in a medium with a spatially varying refractive index. The present paper is devoted to the demonstration that this equation perfectly works in the non-absorbing / non-scattering limit, what was contested by L. Martí-López and coworkers [Opt. Commun. 266, 44 (2006)]. The assertion that this equation would imply a zero divergence of the rays is also commented. | |
