	The light cavity you described would make a very interesting
laser cavity. The light that does not mutually reflect off the spheres
would reflect off the two ellipsoids in a manner as to align onto
the axis of F1 and F2. In a laser, this would stimulate emission most
strongly along this axis. The resultant light distribution would look
very similar to an exponential distribution, if not in actuality being
an exponential distribution.

	Have we got any mathematical wizards out there?
